They have lawyers, but everyone has lawyers over a certain size and the NHS is huge.

As for billing, who would they bill - I've never had a bill from the NHS or even heard of someone getting a bill from the NHS? In some parts of the UK you have to pay a small amount for prescription medicines but that doesn't go to the NHS etc.
