50 years of the NHS

Article Abstract:

Substantial technological and scientific progress has been made since the UK National Health Service (NHS) began operating in 1948. It has been possible to develop techniques to save many lives, but this has produced heavy cost burdens for the NHS. The average time spent in hospital has fallen considerably, but average waiting times for treatment have remained about the same since 1968, at between 13 and 14 weeks. Staff pay now accounts for around 60% of the NHS budget, compared with 70% in 1988. Low pay and long hours are making it hard to recruit nurses.
