▫▫ The History of the National Health Service – Unit 6
What led to the NHS to be created?
By the end of World War II, the concept of an integrated, state funded hospital
service, the NHS, was established on the 5th of July,1948. When Labour came
into power in 1945. The Minister of Health, Aneurin Bevan was given the task
of introducing the service. They made a bold and pioneering plan to make
healthcare no longer exclusive to those who could not afford it but to make it
accessible to everyone. The National Health Service, abbreviated to NHS was
launched by the then Minister of Health in Atlee's post–war government,
Aneurin Bevan, at the park hospital in Manchester.

the Poor Law set out
the responsibilities
of the local area to
provide help for
those in need,
including the aged.
Free treatment
would sometimes be
free or available
through volunteer
work or return for
manual labor. Most
wage earners
received medical care from general practitioners who were paid a capitation
fee per patient treated. It was funded by worker contributions to approved
societies, which could be insurance companies, unions, friendly society trades
and others.
The National health Act – the national health service act came into effect on 5th
July,1948. The act provided for the establishment of a comprehensive health
service for the UK. It stated that it will be the duty of the Minister of Health to
promote the health of the people and the prevention,
diagnoses and treatment of illnesses and it will be
free of charge.
