Health issues in Britain

As far as Britain's geographical location is considered Health doesn't seem to be problem. But problems arises because of the diet of the people is not perfect. More and more people are becoming obese by eating junk-foods. It is relatively easy for person to get a medical benefit because of NHS(National Health Services) which keeps low on cost of medicines.
1. Health issues change as per the region, the people staying in and around the city area are more prone to mental illnesses and health issues because of the pollution whereas the people staying in suburbs or remote parts have mostly age related health problems.
2. There seems to be vast differences in UK for health issues when it comes to social class. People give lot of importance to the persons lifestyle, housing, and neighbourhood conditions. It is seen that if this aspect of area is controlled then there is significant reduction in Social class differences in the society.
3. There's a huge issues on gender in Britain when it comes to health, since women have more biological problems then men, as womens bodies are more complex. Also differences in gender and inequalities are faced by men and women when class and ethnicity is taken into consideration. But mostly health services look forward to reduce this differences and inequalities.
4. In Britain there seems to be more fluctuations due to some disease by ethnicity then socio-economic conditions. Ehtnic health inequalities has risen due to following : High rates of poverty between BME(BLACK AND MINORITY ETHNIC), jobless, lack of ameneties and good living conditions. This is a longterm effect due to imigration, racial discrimination, lack of health care differences in life style.
5. In UK expenditure on health is very large. It was under £50bn in 2000 used for health care. A large part of the funds is given to NHS. It also depends on the region where the ratio of funds for the health care is distributed for the people.
