The British National Health Service (NHS) was established by legislation 5th July 1948.

Who started the NHS?

The NHS was one of the consequences of the Beveridge report written in 1942. It's aim was to build a better nation and pushed for a welfare state. When the Labour party came into government after WWII, they used the report to create the welfare state still familiar toady. This included the formation of the NHS.
