At 60 Years Old, the NHS is looking to its future

My parents’ first son was born and died in 1946, their second in 1947 and I was born with the NHS in July 1948. Sometimes we take this amazing institution for granted but to many people the NHS was – and is – the difference between life and death.

This month we celebrated the 60th. birthday of the NHS and for me a great present would be the introduction of polyclinics across the capital and the country.
