History of NHS
The NHS was born 65 years ago on the 5th of July 1948. It came from a long held idea from a man called Aneurin Bevan who was the minister of health in Britain at the time. He believed that health care should be widely accessible to anyone regardless their colour, condition and most importantly their wealth. The NHS has grown to be one of the world’s most publicly funded health care service with over 100 billion pounds imputed into the trust each year (see appendix 1). In the beginning the NHS aims were short and simple:
The service should be free at any given point for any procedure
Meets the demands and requirements of any given patient
It is based on clinical needs not on the ability to pay
These aims guided, improved and developed the NHS for half a decade. Until in the year 2000 when there was a whole new change of plan. New aims and objectives were introduced in order to modernise the NHS. These new aims were:
The NHS will continuously work on improving its services and quality
The NHS will provide a full comprehensive range of services
The NHS will aim to minimise their errors
The NHS will respond to any need or condition to any part of the population
The NHS will shape their care around the needs and preferences of the patient and their family
The NHS will devote the funding solely to its costumers
The NHS will work alongside others to ensure the correct treatment is given
The NHS will work towards reducing health inequalities
(Health, 2002)
“The NHS employs more than 1.7m people. Of those, just under half are clinically qualified, including, 39,780 general practitioners (GPs), 370,327 nurses, 18,687 ambulance staff and 105,711 hospital and community health service (HCHS) medical and dental staff.
Only the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the Wal-Mart supermarket chain and the Indian Railways directly employ more
