If you feel ill, you can go to the chemist to buy cough mixture or headache pills. For more powerful drugs, you need to get a prescription from a doctor. Doctors work in surgeries and health centres. There is also a phone service, called NHS Direct. With NHS Direct you can talk to a trained nurse. Some people prefer to use alternative medicine like Chinese herbs, acupuncture or osteopathy. If you exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, you shouldn't need to use the healthcare system.

The British Parlament


The word parliament comes from the French verp parler, to talk. The British have used this name since the 13th century. It represents the idea that the monarch should talk with and listen to ordinary people.

The British Parliament has developed over hundreds of years. It started with a group of nobles to advise the king. Today it consists of the monarch and two houses of Parliament - the House of Lords and the House of Commnos.

The House of Commons has got 646 members, know as Members of Parliament (MPs). Local residents vote for an MP to represent them.

The House of Lords consists of noblemen. Until recently, membership to the House of Lords passed from father to son - when a nobleman died, his eldest son took his palace in the House.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the monarchy and the House of Lords Act changed the parliamentary system so that most nobles lost their right to sit and vote in the House.

Instead, people receive titles from the Queen for their contribution to society and it isn't a hereditary honour any more to sit in the House.

Over the years, Parliament has become more representative of the people. Today, everyone over the age of 18 has fot the right to vote for an MP to represent them in Parliament.
