The UK's National Health Service (NHS) is made up of four publicly funded healthcare systems, in England it's simply named the NHS however, in Scotland and Wales it's NHS Scotland and NHS Wales respectively, while in Northern Ireland it's Health and Social Care (HSC).
Although each system operates independently and is politically accountable to its relevant government, there is no discrimination when a resident from one part of the UK requires treatment while in another.
