The NHS was conceived by Beveridge, a Liberal
The NHS was conceived by Beveridge, a Liberal, and brought into being by a Labour administration very different from today’s Government. Too often hitting the government target means missing the point. It is time to remember the founding principles of the NHS: care, of the highest possible quality, available fairly to all who need it, with doctors free to focus on the patient, not the red tape.
