Whilst I am aware of the roles granted to the federal government of the US by the constitution, we have been discussing the Health Service and the Education system of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
As far as I am aware the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a sovereign country (unless we have become the 51st state of the Union whilst I was asleep last night and the news has not been disseminated to the citizens of the UK). I fail to comprehend what bearing the constitution of another country has on the UK. I am not seeking to criticize the US constitution, merely pointing out that it has no bearing whatsoever here in the UK.
