	National Health Service
		An extension of the National Insurance Panel system, under which a doctor could set up anywhere he wished, and which has meant that some areas are over and some under-supplied with doctors, would be inconsistent with the obligation to provide a medical service for all.
		The general principles of the Health Service will apply equally in Scotland, but there will be some differences in organisation, arising partly out of the concentration of 80 per cent of the population in the industrial 'waist' of the country, with the rest in sparsely populated areas.
		The object is to provide for everybody a comprehensive service (with the temporary exception of dental and mental health treatment), irrespective of means, age, sex, or occupation, and to divorce it from questions of personal means by giving it, with a few exceptions, free of charge.

	The National Health Service Crisis
		The closure of hospitals, with services being concentrated in one hospital which serves a wide geographical area, the shortage of nurses and the cut-backs in the number of ambulance and paramedic staff and the coalition of services into single units has finally taken its toll in the winter of 1998/1999.
		Because hospital services have contracted, with wards closed and the number of emergency beds (which, when there is an excess, are unused most of the time) reduced to make themselves cost effective; there is very little slack in the system when an inrush of patients is seen.
		Whilst some changes are desirable, maximising the use of public money and the reduction of wasted cash being the most obvious cases, many changes have caused knock-on effects which have reduced the NHS to a pale image of its former self.

	spiked-health Article Public squalor or private rip-off?
		One potent symbol of the degradation of the ethos of public service and professionalism in the NHS is the current preoccupation of health service staff - from doctors to ambulance workers - with the threat of violence from patients.
		Another common theme among health service staff is the claim that undue levels of stress are resulting in burnout, resignation and premature retirement.
		The acceleration of demand ahead of supply means that the burden of the health service is likely to be unsustainable either by a demoralised public sector or by a venal private sector, or by collaboration between them.
