Introduction

The problem related to the difference in health care services provision is common in various states of Europe, United Kingdom and United States.

The degree of difference underlying socioeconomic inequalities sustains as a challenge with the genetic and cultural explanations. In United Kingdom, there are several cases reported regarding the difference in healthcare provision. The reports are present in terms of mortality and morbidity rate.
