NHS
Our coverage on the NHS focuses on the financial, regulatory, and policy developments impacting the UK’s National Health Service, particularly in England. Accountancy Today reports on NHS budgeting, funding allocations, and the financial implications of health policies on public sector accounting. We analyse the effects of governmental reforms, such as the integration of NHS England into the Department of Health and Social Care, on financial oversight and accountability. Our editorial also examines the challenges of managing NHS finances amidst rising demand, workforce pressures, and the need for investment in digital infrastructure. This coverage provides accountants, auditors, and financial professionals with insights into the evolving financial landscape of the UK’s largest public service.
