The National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom. Since 1948, they have been funded out of general taxation.
On the 5th of July 2021, Queen Elizabeth II awarded the NHS the George Cross. This is the highest award for gallantry available to civilians. In a handwritten note the Queen said the award was being made to all NHS staff past and present for their “courage, compassion and dedication” throughout the pandemic.
