Abstract
Since the work of Sir William Beveridge, and later Bevan, which culminated in the formation of the National Health Service (NHS), in 1948, there have been many political changes which have affected the way in which our health care system operates. The changes have led to an almost constant revision of policies and programmes within the NHS. A series of reports have been commissioned since 1948, assessing the health care needs of the nation and ways in which these needs can be met.
