- Medical care: impact of the NHS
- Phase one: improved access to care
- The National Health Service was launched in 1948 by the Gov.
- aimed to provide the same standard of medical care for the entire population of Britain, paid for by taxes.
- Took over all hospitals, general practitioners and dentists, and made additional services (ambulance).
- A huge take over: thousands of outdated hospitals, GP's that needed modernization increased waiting time and shorter appointments
- access had improved because the NHS was available to all. However, provisions had not improved in the short term.
- The National Health Service was launched in 1948 by the Gov.
- Phase two: High-tech medical and surgical treatments in hospitals
- doctors were able to carry out more daring and intrusive surgeries than ever before
- the development of machinery to treat the body and even replace parts of it that had stopped working also improved treatment.
- Phase one: improved access to care
