1918 healthcare
Most healthcare private

National health insurance for low paid employees earning under £160- provided sick pay
and free medical treatment, unemployed not covered however.

Charities and philanthropies helped

Poor law

Workhouses infirmaries converted into hospitals

Within the earlier period 18-39, a consensus emerged that there should be reform




Healthcare consensus
Widely agreed importance of medical advances

Illnesses like cancer fatal- still focus on making as comfortable as possible for inevitable
death

Widely believed gov had a role and should:
> invest in research and training
>organise a network of hospitals
>Play role in rationing healthcare




Disagreements:
Fabian society- centralised state planned healthcare 1918

Labour Party 1919- first to advocate a free national health service

The British Medical Association- regional system of healthcare

Dawson report (gov commissioned) 1920- recommends network of state funded+
organised hospitals



Healthcare 1

, 1926 Royal Commission- regional structure for healthcare but funding for unified
national heath insurance

1930s- private hospitals and voluntary hospitals lobbied unsuccessfully for gov funding

The Voluntary Hospitals Commissions 1935- Argued gov should merge voluntary and
local authority hospitals to bring expertise and finance together

1937- Report on the British Health Service- recommended regional model w/ central gov
planning

Consensus in gov planning and regional | left advocates an entirely national healthcare
system
