Getting Help When it is Needed in Britain
Britain today is a welfare state which looks after its citizens in need: the old, the sick, the unemployed. The Department of Health and Social Security deals with the basic welfare of all citizens. Medical care and pensions are provided, and financial help is given to those who might otherwise starve or be homeless. Welfare is paid for by all workers and their employers. They pay National Insurance contributions. In addition, the state provides money out of general taxes. Welfare services are free apart from small charges for medicines, spectacles and dentistry. People with very low incomes do not even have to- pay these charges.
The state also helps a citizen in difficulties; for instance, if he or she is:
unemployed,
sick and therefore temporarily unable to work,
permanently disabled,
old and retired from work,
a widow,
unable to provide the minimum of food, warmth and shelter for him / herself and family.
He can then apply for social security. The amount of money he receives depends on the, rate fixed by the, government. It also depends on how many National Insurance contributions he has paid, and on his means (his other income and capital).
