Criticism of the National Health Service (England) consists of problems such as access, waiting lists, healthcare protection, and various scandals. The National Health Service (NHS) is the publicly financed healthcare system of England, produced under the National Health Service Act 1946 by the post-war Labour government of Clement Attlee. It has actually come under much criticism, especially during the early 2000s, due to outbreaks of antibiotic resistant infections such as MRSA and Clostridioides difficile infection, waiting lists, and medical scandals such as the Alder Hey organs scandal. However, the participation of the NHS in scandals extends back several years, consisting of over the provision of mental healthcare in the 1970s and 1980s (ultimately part of the reason for the Mental Health Act 1983), and overspends on medical facility newbuilds, including Guy's Hospital Phase III in London in 1985, the expense of which soared from ₤ 29 million to ₤ 152 million.

Access controls and waiting lists

In making health care a largely "unnoticeable cost" to the client, health care seems to be effectively free to its customers - there is no particular NHS tax or levy. To minimize expenses and make sure that everybody is treated equitably, there are a variety of "gatekeepers." The basic practitioner (GP) operates as a main gatekeeper - without a referral from a GP, it is typically impossible to get higher courses of treatment, such as an appointment with a consultant. These are argued to be needed - Welshman Bevan kept in mind in a 1948 speech in the House of Commons, "we shall never have all we require ... expectations will constantly exceed capacity".
