The Birth of the NHS – July 5th 1948 8 January, 2008 | By Louise Tweddell The facts, figures and quotes that shaped the history of the National Health Service ‘ On 5 July we start together, the new National Health Service. It has not had an altogether trouble-free gestation. There have been understandable anxieties, inevitable in so great and novel an undertaking. Nor will there be overnight any miraculous removal of our more serious shortages of nurses and others and of modern replanned buildings and equipment.

But the sooner we start, the sooner we can try to see these things and to secure the improvements we all want. My job is to give you all the facilities, resources and help I can, and then to leave you alone as professional men and women to use your skills and judgement without hindrance. Let us try to develop that partnership from now on. ‘ – Aneurin Bevan, The Lancet, 1948 On July 5 1948 the National Health Service took control of 480, 000 hospital beds in England and Wales. An estimated 125, 000 nurses and 5, 000 consultants were available to care for hospital patients.

The NHS Act, brought before parliament in 1946, was created as part of a social welfare policy under Clement Atlee’s Labour government which aimed to provide universal and free benefits to all those in need. The service was based on recommendations in the 1942 Beveridge report which called for a state welfare system. According to William Beveridge, a nationalised health service was just one way Britain could help beat want, disease, ignorance, squalor and idleness. The principles of the NHS were to provide a comprehensive service funded by taxation, available to all and free at the time of need.

With continued food rationing, a housing shortage, spiralling tuberculosis death rates and on the back of an exceptionally severe winter the inception of a welfare state could not have come at a better time for post-war Britain. In its first year the NHS cost ? 248m to run, almost ? 140m more than had been originally estimated. In 1948 it was estimated there was a shortage of 48, 000 nurses. By 1952 the situation improved, figures show there were 245, 000 whole time equivalent nurses. Nurse training became strengthened the same year by the professional regulator, the General Nursing Council, which improved its education syllabus.

Strict educational requirements for new entrants to the profession, which had been relaxed during the war, were re-implemented and the foundations to build the profession were laid. Nurses clearly took to heart the words of then Chief Nursing Officer Dame Elizabeth Cockayne: ‘ We find ourselves doing things with patients and not just for them as previously, leading them to self direction and graduated degrees of independence. As a profession we need to become increasingly self-analytical and to examine what we are doing and why. ’

The National Health Service is rotting before our eyes, with a lack of political will to make the tough choices for a first-class service for an ever more demanding population. — Anonymous The Times (Jul 2000), Leader. We forever have to walk the tightrope between what is seen to be the need and what is thought to be the demand . . . that’s all part of setting priorities and having a rational debate. — Anonymous National Health Service Chief Executive Officer quoted in Timothy Milewa and Michael Calnan, ‘ Primary Care and Public Involvement, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine (2000), 93, 3-5.

In quotes: Debate on future of NHSSome of the MPs’ contributions to the Commons debate on the Health and Social Care Bill. ANDREW LANSLEY, HEALTH SECRETARY People trust the National Health Service and the values of the NHS are protected and will remain so. Paid for by general taxation, available to all, free at the point of delivery, based on need and not on ability to pay.

But a system in which everyone is treated the same is not one in which everyone is treated as they should be. Our doctors and nurses often deliver great care but the system often doesn’t engage and empower them as it should. JOHN HEALEY, SHADOW HEALTH SECRETARY These changes will break up the NHS, these changes will open up all areas of the NHS to price-cutting competition from private health companies. These changes will take away from all parts of the NHS the requirements for proper openness, scrutiny and accountability to the public and to Parliament.

They are driving free-market political ideology into the heart of the NHS and this is why doctors are now saying that, as it stands, the bill now spells the end of the NHS. STEPHEN DORRELL, CONSERVATIVE HEALTH COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN This bill actually represents an evolution of policy which has been consistently developed by every secretary of state with a single exception since 1990… which of these key policies does Labour now wish to dissent from? DAVID MILIBAND, FORMER FOREIGN SECRETARY The choice is not between no reform and reform. The question is good reform versus bad reform.

And my belief is that the proposals in front of us represent not a curate’s egg of some good reforms and some bad reforms but actually a set of poison pills for the National Health Service. ANDREW GEORGE, LIB DEM MP Although I think that the bill is well-intentioned, I think in order for it to proceed and not to damage the NHS I believe that it needs some further major surgery during committee and report stage. DENNIS SKINNER, LABOUR BACKBENCHER Why on earth should the health service be changed? We had 13 years, we dragged the health service from the depths of degradation and hoisted it to the pinnacles of achievement.

NADINE DORRIES, CONSERVATIVE MP Sixty-two years has passed since the NHS was first established and it’s absolutely time for the NHS to be modernised. In those 62 years, drug research and development has advanced hugely, medical technologies have advanced in such a way that couldn’t even have been imagined 62 years ago and patients now, as a result of the internet and information available to them, expect and demand to have a say in how their condition is managed… what this bill will do will put the patient right at the heart of the NHS. FRANK DOBSON, FORMER LABOUR HEALTH SECRETARY

These proposals will divert people in the NHS from the job of looking after people, they are privatising the NHS, they are fragmenting the NHS and they will cost us a fortune and do little or no good for anybody. NICK DE BOIS, CONSERVATIVE MP Who do patients trust? Do they trust a remote PCT [primary care trust] or do they trust their local doctor? There really is no contest and I welcome these reforms because they will give the commissioning powers to the GPs and bring their patients closer to decisions about their future. DEBBIE ABRAHAMS, NEW LABOUR MP FOR OLDHAM EAST
