The Poor Law, which established a system of poor relief in England and Wales, was effectively ended with the introduction of the National Assistance Act in 1948. This legislation replaced the poor law system with a more comprehensive welfare state approach, providing assistance to those in need without the stigma associated with the previous system. The Poor Law had evolved over the years, but its formal abolition marked a significant shift in social welfare policy.
