NHS 1949 (God bless Mr Bevin)

Surgery a huge cost before that.

Thanks Canuc

It is sometimes very easy to forget that the NHS has not been with us forever.

The National Health Service began in the UK on 5th July 1948.
Before that hospitals were administered and financed locally, and usually patients were accepted free of charge if they were in receipt of Public Assistance, or were old age pensioners.
The driving force behind the NHS was Aneurin Bevan

, Minister of Health.

Ah, a dyslexic moment again blast $:-\$ (I'm too young to have senior moments)
E Bevin and A Bevan, both noteable but for different reasons. I'm sure Mr Bevin is entitled to blessings, but please don't forget Mr Bevan.

Well I'd have wagered on 1949 if pushed, good thing I didn't
