National Health Insurance in Great Britain - 1911-1946

First published in 1946, National Health Insurance in Great Britain: 1911-1946 by R.W. Harris provides a comprehensive analysis of the development and operation of Britain's National Health Insurance system. Divided into two parts, the book examines the scheme's foundations, administration, finances, and impact on society, as well as the evolution of the insurance medical service. It concludes with a forward-looking discussion on the transition toward a complete National Health Service. This work remains an essential resource for understanding the historical roots of Britain's healthcare system.
