primary care services nationwide. This includes NHS Wales, England and Scotland.
Size-The NHS is a Large business with a workforce that possesses over 150,000 doctors across
England, more than 320,000 nurses and midwives, this however is only a third of the total
workforce. Taken together, the four National Health Services in 2015–16 employed approximately
1.6 million people with a combined budget of £ 136.7 billion. The total health sector workforce in
the UK was 2,165,043 in 2014. This amounted to 1,789,586 in England, 198,368 in Scotland, 110,292
in Wales and 66,797 in Northern Ireland. There were 691,000 registered nurses in the UK in 2017,

Sector-The NHS resides in the public sector to provide an easily accessible health service to the

external stakeholder is somebody outside the business that could be affected.

illnesses, without the NHS these patients would not be able to have free treatment thus affecting
less financially affluent patients as treatment without the NHS would be rather expensive. Another
stakeholder would be the doctors aiming to be employed under the NHS, seeking work as these
people are searching for employment in that field of work.

This business has unlimited liability as the trader’s assets are tied to the company so therefore the

Business Liability
Generally, it is general partnerships or single shareholders who have unlimited liability for the
business or partnership's debts. The partners are personally liable for the firm's liabilities in general
partnerships, with equal shares. On the other hand, a sole trader business is owned by one person
who assumes personal responsibility for all debts or obligations originating from his business affairs.
Consequently, a sole proprietor has unlimited liability. In This case it would be 5-star barbers.
Some general partnership firms may arrange their partnership agreements to allow partners to
retain debt liability only to the extent of the firm's capital accounts. The partnership agreement
enables partners to accept responsibility for the debts only to the extent of the amount of their
capital accounts, rather than allowing the partner to have total legal liability for all the debts and
liabilities of the company. Accordingly, liability is allocated by a fixed percentage of the capital
account of each partner, which is also the partnership's equity. This is briefly known as limited
liability. In this case, the NHS has limited liability.
