The future of the NHS?

The National Health Service (NHS) was established in 1948 by the Labour government and Prime Minister Clement Attlee as one of the major social reforms following the Second World War.

Its founding principles were and are that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery. Today the NHS still represents the ideals of the 1940s that good quality healthcare should be available to all and personally i think that this ideal is the crowning jewel of the United Kingdom.
