Born out of conflict 50 years ago, the NHS has survived through increasing conflict. As public expectation about what is medically feasible has risen, so has the cost of drugs and equipment to a service whose finances are increasingly tightly monitored. This book weighs up the successes and failures of the NHS and examines the conflicts which have riven the Health Service since it was established to the reforms proposed by the new Labour government.
