Research project: The sustainability of the NHS financial structure

Abstract

The coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact on global and countrywide economies. The National Health System (NHS) in the UK is majorly funded by public funding. Considering the impact the pandemic has had on the budget of the entire country, this study will focus on the financial stability of the NHS. By scrutinising the existing financial structure of the NHS, this study will aim to identify efficiencies and inefficiencies in the use of funds to allow for optimal performance at a lower budget.
