O NHS garante acesso aos cuidados de saúde, não como privilégio de quem pode pagar, mas como um direito fundamental de todos os cidadãos. Os valores do NHS – prestação de cuidados: universal, livre de impostos, financiados no momento em que são necessários - permanecem idênticos, no essencial, desde a sua criação em 1948.
Alguns elementos indiciadores da dimensão do NHS:
• O NHS é um dos maiores empregadores no mundo, juntamente com o exército de libertação popular chinês, os caminhos de ferro Indianos ou a cadeia de supermercados -Wal-Mart.
• Os funcionários do NHS atendem todos os dias mais de 1,5 milhões de utentes e suas famílias.
• O NHS, na Inglaterra e no País de Gales emprega cerca de 1,3 milhões de pessoas. Aproximadamente uma pessoa em cada 40 habitantes.
• Cerca de 77% da actual mão de obra do NHS é do sexo feminino.
• As farmácias comunitárias dispensaram cerca de 745 milhões itens, referentes às prescrições satisfeitas em 2006/07.
• 1,7 milhões de utentes utilizaram os serviços de assistência social do NHS em 2006/07.
• Os médicos de família (com horário completo) atendem em média 255 utentes por semana.
• O NHS presta cuidados domiciliários a 1,4 milhões de utentes por semana.
• As ambulâncias do NHS percorrem mais de 50.000 trajectos de emergência por semana.
• Cidadãos do RU, homens e mulheres vivem em média mais 10 anos do que acontecia antes da criação do NHS, em 1948.

"The Scotland NHS has also recorded the lowest ever waiting lists for both inpatients and outpatients since records began. Fewer people are waiting and waiting times for access to hospital care are now at their lowest ever level.

Official figures showed that:

No patient had waited more than 18 weeks for a first outpatient consultation following GP referral or for hospital inpatient and day case treatment

The 9-weeks maximum waiting time for key diagnostic tests continued to be met ahead of schedule with 99.7 per cent compliance

The "total journey" targets of 16 weeks for cardiac intervention, from GP referral and 18 weeks for cataract surgery, from GP or Optometrist referral, were effectively delivered

A&E Departments delivered 98 per cent compliance with the 4-hours target for admission, discharge or transfer

97 per cent of patients with hip fracture waited no more than 24 hours for hip surgery following admission to a specialist unit, effectively meeting this target

Cancer waiting times statistics for the quarter ended 30 September 2007 showed a 91.6 per cent compliance with the 62-day target - a rise of 4.3 percentage points on the previous quarter and a rise of 9.1 percentage points on the same quarter last year

The waiting list for treatment, including patients with no guarantee stood at 66,813 its lowest level since records began in 1992 - down 25,980 (28 per cent) on a year ago. At its highest it stood at 114,052 at December 31, 2004

Also an all time low - the waiting for a first outpatient consultation following referral was 159,997 down 29,411 (15.5 per cent) on a year ago. At its highest 259,391 patients were on the waiting list at September 30, 2004
