London, Oct 25 : Stress looming from global financial crisis, has cost NHS more than 2 billion pounds a year, according to a new report.
Treating health problems arising out of wide range of domestic woes, from divorce to neighbour disputes, following financial crisis is costing huge amounts to NHS.
The researchers questioned 5,000 adults in England and Wales about so-called "civil-law problems" for which a remedy could be sought in court, including consumer disputes, employment issues, homelessness, domestic violence, disputes over benefits, child custody, immigration or mental health, and accidents where someone was to blame.
It showed 34 per cent of people said they had suffered at least one such problem.
