Ex. XVII a), p. 77
1. В Англии первичным медицинским обслуживанием за­нимаются семейные врачи, работающие в системе Государ­ственной службы здравоохранения. Оно включает услуги вра­чей, стоматологов, магазинов «Оптика» и аптек, выбираемых самим пациентом. Семейные врачи, работающие по договору с Государственной службой здравоохранения, имеют в сред­нем по 2250 пациентов. В случае болезни они ставят первона­чальный диагноз и либо прописывают соответствующий курс лечения, либо направляют больного к более узким специали­стам или на консультацию в больницу.
Многие больницы, работающие в системе Государственной службы здравоохранения, были построены в XIX веке, а не­которые, такие, например, как знаменитые больницы Св. Вар­фоломея и Св. Фомы, ведут свое происхождение от еще более ранних благотворительных учреждений.
Около 85% стоимости медицинских услуг оплачивается из налоговых поступлений, остальное покрывается за счет Государственной службы здравоохранения и тех денег, кото­рые пациенты платят за рецепты, лечение и протезирование зубов и очки. Органы здравоохранения могут также собирать добровольные пожертвования.
2. Никто не станет утверждать, что Государственная служба здравоохранения Великобритании работает идеаль­но. Многие врачи жалуются, что им приходится тратить уйму времени, заполняя бланки общенационального медицинского страхования, и что с таким огромным количеством пациен­тов им не хватает времени, чтобы пролечить хотя бы одного из них должным образом. А медсестры говорят, что им при­
Unit Three 31
ходится слишком много работать, а зарплата у них несоиз­меримо низкая.
3. Многие больницы, работающие в системе Государствен­ной службы здравоохранения, устарели и переполнены, а из-за недостатка коек больным приходится подолгу ждать опе­раций. Богатые предпочитают обращаться к частнопрактику­ющим врачам или же к специалистам с Харли-стрит, зна­менитой «врачебной» улицы в Лондоне. Когда такие люди за­болевают, они ложатся в частные клиники, пребывание в ко­торых может стоить целых сто фунтов в неделю. Они также могут заплатить за отдельную палату в обычной больнице, что обойдется примерно в десять фунтов в день.
