title: Is there still such a thing as a UK NHS?
abstract: Since devolution in 1999, there have been variations between healthcare policies in the four UK countries, making the existence of a national health service debatable. Research by the Nuffield Trust suggests that policy variations have not had as much impact on quality of care as funding and staffing levels.
