NHS and Asylum-seekers

Introduction

National Health Service - NHS

NHA was founded on the results of the Beverage Report (1942) to provide universal comprehensive curative and preventive health services of physical and mental diseases. Service is centrally funded through insurance and taxation. Its founders believed that the NHS will solve the problems of poor health especially for asylum seeker, along with other measures of the welfare state will lead to higher standards of health and reduce health care needs. This did not happen. Increase in cost, changes, in expectations and types of disease, demographic fluctuations and permanence of class-related illness resulted in a high level of demand. Emergency medicine, hospitalization, developed at the expense of preventive, therapeutic sector. Garner (1979) calls this the paradigm of "no hope, no power." Patients from “Cinderella” have no independence, and have no serious interests of medicine not rise to their defense. Their conditions of life require more care than cure.

(d) Payment systems and management, confirming the status differences between doctors, hospitals and general practitioners, consultants and other experts in this field.

In addition, the assumption, were subjected to delivery "charter of patients', the introduction of performance criteria for clinical staff, the abolition of regional (but not regional) management of health services.
