2. Rewrite the 2^nd, the 4^th and the 5^th paragraphs and translate them into the written form:

HEALTH

1) Total spending on health and social services in 1993-1994 was £36,000 million on health and £292 million on social serv­ices. Recent developments include an increase in practice nurses at doctors' surgeries, projects designed to improve health care in inner city areas and among ethnic minorities, and new proce­dures for assessing the care needs for individuals within the community.

2) The National Health Service (NHS) provides a full range of medical services which are available to all residents, regardless of their income. Local authority personal social services and volun­tary organizations provide help and advice to the most vulnerable members of the community. These include elderly, physically disabled and mentally ill people, those with learning disabilities (mental handicap) and children in need of care.

3) Central government is directly responsible for the NHS, ad­ministered by a range of local health authorities and boards throughout Britain acting as its agents, and for the social security system. Personal social services are administered by local authorities but central government is responsible for establishing national policies, issuing guidance and overseeing standards. Joint finance and planning between health and local authorities aim to prevent overlapping of services and to encourage the development of community services.

4) Spending on the health service has increased substantially in real terms since 1980, and is planned to grow further over the next two years. More patients are being treated than ever before. Spending on the personal social services is determined by local authorities. Central government has restricted the total expendi­ture of individual local authorities, but spending has risen substantially in real terms since the late 1970s, reflecting the priority given to this sector.

5) The NHS health programme consists of: Hospital and Com­munity Health Services, providing all hospital care and a range of community health services; Family Health Services, providing general medical, dental and pharmaceutical services and some ophthalmic services, and covering the cost of medicines pre­scribed by general practitioners; Central Health and Miscellaneous Services, providing services most effectively administrated cen­trally, such as welfare food and support to the voluntary sector; and the administrative costs of the health departments.
