What Was Health Care Like Before The NHS?

This is an article that was issued over two years ago about the NHS.  With the current challenges and industrial action in mind it may be worth reminding ourselves of the health care system before 1948.  It outlines the structure of health care in this country during the 19th and 20th century.  The National Insurance Act of 1911 improved the situation but what were its weaknesses?  The country acquired the "Hospital Habit” after the First World War but how did this enhance health care? The article also goes on to explain the role of First Aid Networks and how they initiated the ambulance service.  If you would like to find out more then please select the following link:
