The NHS
The 1945-51 governments
are remembered for many
things but the most famous is
setting up the NHS in 1948.
The National Health Service
aimed to eradicate the Giant
of disease by offering
healthcare to all.
The NHS
The NHS had three aims:
• Universal access
• Treat all medical problems
• Free at the point of use
Medical care was to be based
on need, not a person’s
money or background.
The NHS
Under the NHS, patients
could access a range of
treatments that previously
they might have been
denied, including:
• Spectacles
• False teeth
• Maternity services
The NHS
Introducing the NHS
meant that everyone in
Britain could now get
healthcare.
Before this ,more than
half of the British
population had no
medical cover, meaning
they often went without
treatment.
The NHS
One problem with the
NHS was that many
hospitals were out-of-
date and in a poor
condition.
This limited the
effectiveness of the
treatment that patients
received from the NHS.
NHS costs
The NHS was very
popular – and so it also
proved to be very
expensive.
In the first year, it cost
£240 million to run. This
was £140 million more
than had been expected.
Prescriptions
The introduction of the
NHS hugely increased
the numbers of people
accessing prescriptions.
This increased from 7
million prescriptions per
month before the NHS to
13.5 million per month by
September 1948.
Prescriptions
The costs of running the
NHS were very high. In
1951 Labour voted to
introduce prescription
charges, which then
happened in 1952.
•9
This undermined the
goals of a ‘free’ health
service.
Prescriptions
Although NHS costs were
high, this proved that
many people were getting
treatment, unlike before
the service was
introduced.
In addition, poor people
did not have to pay for
prescription charges.
NHS staffing
When the NHS was
introduced, this meant
that there now 480,000
hospital beds available
in England and Wales.
There were also 125,000
nurses and 5000
consultant doctors.
NHS staffing
By 1948, it was estimated
that there was a shortage
of another 48,000
nurses.
In addition, many doctors
and dentists had
opposed the NHS and
some refused to work in
the service.
NHS staffing
A shortage of staff meant
that fewer people could
get the medical treatment
that they needed.
This undermined the
NHS’s aims to ensure that
all people were given
medical help.
NHS staffing
In 1949, a major staff
recruitment campaign
began.
By 1952, there were now
245,000 nurses
employed in the NHS,
ensuring more people
were able to get
treatment.
* LINKS *
New welfare benefits
ensured more people had
better diets, improving
their general health.
New housing also tackled
health problems such as
caused by living in poor
quality accommodation.

  • 3. The NHS The NHS had three aims: • Universal access • Treat all medical problems • Free at the point of use Medical care was to be based on need, not a person’s money or background.
  • 4. The NHS Under the NHS, patients could access a range of treatments that previously they might have been denied, including: • Spectacles • False teeth • Maternity services
  • 5. The NHS Introducing the NHS meant that everyone in Britain could now get healthcare. Before this ,more than half of the British population had no medical cover, meaning they often went without treatment.
  • 6. The NHS One problem with the NHS was that many hospitals were out-of- date and in a poor condition. This limited the effectiveness of the treatment that patients received from the NHS.
  • 7. NHS costs The NHS was very popular – and so it also proved to be very expensive. In the first year, it cost £240 million to run. This was £140 million more than had been expected.
  • 8. Prescriptions The introduction of the NHS hugely increased the numbers of people accessing prescriptions. This increased from 7 million prescriptions per month before the NHS to 13.5 million per month by September 1948.
  • 9. Prescriptions The costs of running the NHS were very high. In 1951 Labour voted to introduce prescription charges, which then happened in 1952. •9 This undermined the goals of a ‘free’ health service.
  • 10. Prescriptions Although NHS costs were high, this proved that many people were getting treatment, unlike before the service was introduced. In addition, poor people did not have to pay for prescription charges.
  • 11. NHS staffing When the NHS was introduced, this meant that there now 480,000 hospital beds available in England and Wales. There were also 125,000 nurses and 5000 consultant doctors.
  • 12. NHS staffing By 1948, it was estimated that there was a shortage of another 48,000 nurses. In addition, many doctors and dentists had opposed the NHS and some refused to work in the service.
  • 13. NHS staffing A shortage of staff meant that fewer people could get the medical treatment that they needed. This undermined the NHS’s aims to ensure that all people were given medical help.
  • 14. NHS staffing In 1949, a major staff recruitment campaign began. By 1952, there were now 245,000 nurses employed in the NHS, ensuring more people were able to get treatment.
