Explained in plain English
What is the NHS?
The National Health Service (NHS) is the publicly funded healthcare system of the United Kingdom. It provides comprehensive healthcare to all UK residents, largely free at the point of use. Burnham's plan to align care jobs with NHS standards suggests a desire to raise the quality, training, and professional standing of social care workers to a similar level.
