Make it clear that, when NHS is an adjective, the indefinite article should be "an" as in an NHS number.

Change this section of the A to Z: https://service-manual.nhs.uk/content/a-to-z-of-nhs-health-writing#NHS

Agreed at July Style Council meeting. Approved adding an example of an NHS thing, e.g. “an NHS appointment”. Now with our clinical team for approval before publishing the change.
