Healthcare in Greater Manchester is mainly provided by the Greater Manchester element of England's public health service, the National Health Service (NHS). This care is provided to all permanent residents of the United Kingdom, free at the point of use and paid for from general taxation from a variety of hospitals, clinics and other public care settings, with private and voluntary services operating and funded independently. The “Greater Manchester Model” of NHS health care is a system uniquely devolved within England, by way of close integration with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and local authorities, with a vision led by the Mayor of Greater Manchester.

Zone 1 (Manchester Metrolink)

Zone 1 of the Manchester Metrolink light rail network is the heart of the system where all of the other lines converge. Its boundaries are broadly equivalent to those of Manchester city centre, and approximately mirror the city's Inner Ring Road. Within Zone 1, first opened in 1992 as the City Zone, trams largely run along semi-pedestrianised streets rather than on their own separate alignment. The original route between the Altrincham and Bury lines ran to Victoria station via Market Street and High Street, and was soon joined by a branch to Piccadilly station by a three-way delta junction. A second route between the South-West and North-Eastern parts of the network was built to ease congestion on the original line. Opened in 2017, the Second City Crossing (2CC) added one additional stop to the network.
