Health is a devolved matter within the United Kingdom and consequently the access standards in each country reflect the specific health requirements of the devolved administrations. Despite the differences between the nations of the UK, compared to the rest of the world, the UK has amongst the most stretching healthcare access standards and the greatest levels of public visibility of performance against these measures.
