On the National Health
Thirty years ago Lord Beveridge claimed that a national health service would eventually pay for itself by making the nation fitter and more productive. Today the demand for medical care shows no sign of slackening and the National Health Service has become one of the largest corporations in the world. How far has the aim of a Iree comprehensive service been realised, and is it still relevant? What should be the priorities now in the NHS? John Vaizey examines current thinking about the Health Service and its future.
