The history of the National Health Service and how it grew from a Scottish prototype in the Highlands and Islands is detailed in this book. Demonstrated is how the plan for Scotland, as originally conceived, was accepted in full by consensus, and how in setting up the National Health Service for England and Wales, important concessions were made to overcome the resistance of powerful interest groups and an English medical profession less committed to public service. Outlined is how two distinct forms of the National Health Service were established in the United Kingdom, each with its own character and ethos.
