- Summary
- "The blueprint for Britain's National Health Services was drawn up in Scotland. Early in the twentieth century a sense of nationalism had secured a health administration in Scotland, separate from that for the rest of Britain and able to set its own course. By 1913, the Highlands and Islands had the first comprehensive state medical service in Britain. In the depression of the 1930s, there was already a powerful consensus in Scotland, supported by a medical profession with a long-established tradition of public service, that free and comprehensive medical services must be extended across the whole country. A plan for Scotland, published in 1936, became the basis of the schemes for the National Health Services established north and south of the border in 1948."--BOOK JACKET.
