What is a legal requirement of the NHS?

• A. Regulating stock market
• B. Delivering health and care services including primary care and hospital treatment
• C. Conducting immigration checks
• D. Providing traffic management

Answer: (B)

The NHS is legally required to provide health and care services, including primary care and hospital treatment. This means essential medical services like GP visits and hospital care are core duties of the NHS, funded by the government to ensure people can access care. The other options don’t fit the NHS’s role: regulating the stock market is handled by financial regulators, immigration checks are carried out by the Home Office, and traffic management is managed by transport authorities. So the option describing delivering health and care services best reflects the NHS’s legal remit.
