It's hard to stay motivated when learning English. Adept English is here to help you learn by making English interesting,  not boring. In this English listening practice lesson, we talk about  one of the many things that makes the UK different from much of the  world. The National Health Service, anyone in the UK, would call it the  NHS. A system of health care that is free at the point of access for  everyone in the UK. Sounds amazing, right? Who wouldn’t want free  healthcare?

Interesting is as important as our great English  language content. If you want to learn more and have fun doing it,  subscribe to us and start listening now!

With the NHS, it’s not quite that simple. The UK spends more on the NHS than defence, education, transport, police, housing, environment,  industry and agriculture. The NHS offers world leading care in some of  its services, but in many, the real world experience is not world class.  Even simple things are hard to get solved, and it can be a fight to get  diagnosed and treated in the NHS in 2022.

Although this approach  to national healthcare is much cheaper than most systems. It’s not  cheap. It costs the UK an eye watering amount of taxpayer’s money every year. In 2007, the UK government’s annual spend was £587 billion pounds, and £111 billion of that, around 20% was on the NHS. More recently, in 2021, the UK government's annual spend was just over £1 trillion pounds, and nearly 20% of that was just on the NHS.
