Abstract
  • The author has written an invaluable record of the events surrounding the introduction of the National Health Service by researching among contemporary documents. The scope of the account is limited to England and Wales, and there has been no attempt made to assess and judge the emergent NHS from the standpoint of later experience. The book records the origins of the health service in England and Wales up to 1939, and then covers the period 1939 to 1948 in detail. The final chapter answers four questions about decisions reached during the formative stages of the NHS : were the scope and content of the NHS rightly defined?; was the consultative process adequate?; was the administrative structure satisfactory?; was the finance of the service properly based?
