How did the NHS come into existence

After the Second World War in Britain the people were in no mood for things to continue as they were. Prime Minister Winston Churchill had won the War but in matters of peace,  the British Public were very wary. They had been betrayed by the established order before. In 1918 Lloyd George had promised the country would be a home fit for heroes but this never materialised and things had gone on pretty much as they had done before. The British had a Class system and they were going to stick with it.

To the astonishment of the establishment, Churchill, Royalty and the upper class, the first proper majority Labour Government was returned. They wasted no time in bringing great swathes of the country’s industry under state control. Coal mining, public transport and the utilities were now in the state’s control and would not be relinquished for another four years or so.

However, the most important introduction was the creation of the National Health Service. This was a tax funded institution that was designed to do something unheard of. It would provide free, unquestioned medical care to everyone. Regardless of age, gender, class, and race, if you were a British citizen you were entitled to use it. It is now one of the largest state organisations in the world. It employs as many people as the Chinese Red army. To supplement the many doctors and nurses that make up the NHS there are locums. It is important for practices to use Locum Insurance when employing them.
