Britain is both a traditional market economy, market mechanism is perfect, the market system is complete, the enterprise system is based on the shareholding system, the state does not intervene in economic activities in principle, but the United Kingdom is also a social security complete welfare state. From the enactment of the Poor Law to the post-Second World War period, the United Kingdom has established a fairly comprehensive social security system, including medical and health care protection and the National Health Service, which ensures that every member of the community can enjoy free or low-cost medical and health care services. In addition, special services were provided to people with special difficulties, such as the disabled, the elderly, the mentally ill and children deprived of normal care. 1948 saw the announcement of the introduction of the National Health System (NHS) in the UK, which provides a wide range of healthcare services for all citizens, pays for the majority or all of the healthcare costs, and implements the Primary Service (provided by GPs), Locality Service (provided by local authorities), and the Local Service (provided by local authorities).
