NHS, May 2013
- A number of different organisations make up and support the set of common set of principles and values which are the NHS. Some of these are NHS organisations as set out in law, such as clinical commissioning group. Others, such as charities providing NHS funded services, play a key role in making the NHS what it is, yet are not NHS organisations themselves. Collectively, all of these organisations make up the healthcare system. This guide seeks to explain that system.
