Criticism of the National Health Service (England) includes concerns such as access, waiting lists, health care coverage, and numerous scandals. The National Health Service (NHS) is the openly funded health care system of England, developed under the National Health Service Act 1946 by the post-war Labour government of Clement Attlee. It has come under much criticism, specifically during the early 2000s, due to break outs of antibiotic resistant infections such as MRSA and Clostridioides difficile infection, waiting lists, and medical scandals such as the Alder Hey organs scandal. However, the participation of the NHS in scandals extends back several years, consisting of over the arrangement of mental healthcare in the 1970s and 1980s (eventually part of the reason for the Mental Health Act 1983), and spends too much on medical facility newbuilds, consisting of Guy's Hospital Phase III in London in 1985, the cost of which shot up from ₤ 29 million to ₤ 152 million.

Access controls and waiting lists

In making health care a mostly "undetectable cost" to the client, healthcare seems to be successfully free to its customers - there is no particular NHS tax or levy. To minimize expenses and ensure that everyone is treated equitably, there are a range of "gatekeepers." The general professional (GP) works as a primary gatekeeper - without a recommendation from a GP, it is typically impossible to get greater courses of treatment, such as a consultation with a specialist. These are argued to be essential - Welshman Bevan noted in a 1948 speech in your house of Commons, "we will never have all we require ... expectations will constantly surpass capability".
