Who led the establishment of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948?
Correct Answer: Aneurin (Nye) Bevan
Aneurin (Nye) Bevan, the Minister of Health in Clement Attlee's post-war Labour government, led the establishment of the National Health Service (NHS) on 5 July 1948. The NHS provided free medical care to everyone, funded through general taxation.
While William Beveridge wrote the influential 1942 report that proposed the welfare state, and Clement Attlee was Prime Minister, it was Bevan who drove the creation and implementation of the NHS itself.
