Article Abstract:

The Health Secretary Frank Dobson, has announced that the NHS will receive a substantial cash boost in the upcoming Comprehensive Spending Review on July 14 1998. There was some bantering in the House Of Commons between the Conservative and Labour parties about the current state of the Health Service in the UK. The current government has already outdone the Conservatives by putting GB 2bn more into the NHS than they had said they would. The government has also declared that this level of investment is no where near high enough and there will be more money made available to the service by 2001.

A 50-year love story

Article Abstract:

The UK National Health Service (NHS) has seen mixed fortunes since it was created in 1948. However, it is generally regarded as having had a very positive impact on public health. It will face significant challenges in the future, especially as progress in medical technology and drugs brings higher costs. It is important that ordinary people are aware that the NHS will not function effectively unless they are prepared to pay the taxes required to fund it.
