The first twenty-five years of the National Health Service
Abstract
The National Health Service was established in July 1948. Public provision for medical care was not, of course, new. The service was built upon older foundations whose shape was sometimes all too evident in the administrative arrangements, buildings, and even attitudes carried forward into the new structure.
