  • NHS was founded in 1948 because it was at this point in time that the country was in a good enough state to begin a proper health service. Before the Second World War, the government proposed that health insurance should be extended to the dependents of the wage earner, space and that the voluntary and local authority hospitals should be integrated. However no action was taking due to international crisis. Nevertheless in 1948 after the Second World War, the government decided that I were now economic least able enough to set up the National Health Service.
  • Before the National Health Service patients were generally required to pay for their health care free treatment was sometimes available from charity hospitals such as the Royal Free. Systems of health insurance usually consisted of private schemes such as Friendly Societies. Many people were dying because of the cost of health service, and so the government decided to set up a free health service for all.
