NHS 70th Birthday
photo by Fiona Dent
Today, July 5th, is the 70th Birthday of the National Health Service. Created in England and Wales by the National Health Service Act 1948 introduced by the Labour Government led by Clement Attlee.
Aneurin Bevan, the father of the NHS, thought it should be the responsibility of government to provide comprehensive healthcare. The principle of healthcare free at the point of delivery based on need, not wealth, so people could enjoy life without fear of falling upon hard times through ill-health.
Quotes attributed to Aneurin Bevan, though he may not have actually made them all, do however convey the spirit of the NHS;
"No society can legitimately call itself civilized if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means."
“Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune the cost of which should be shared by the community”
“The NHS will last as long as there’s folk with faith left to fight for it.”
The Labour Party created the NHS and with the help of its supporters will always fight for its continuing existence against the pressures of rising costs, an ageing population and political opposition.

Sexual Harassment Policy
The Labour Party takes complaints of sexual harassment very seriously and has set up an external support line operated by Rape Crisis UK, which can be used as the first step in our sexual harassment procedure. The support line is for anyone who has been affected by sexual harassment within the Labour Party, and provides emotional support and advice about how to make a complaint to the party. It is completely external to the Party and anything discussed will only be passed to the party with explicit consent from the caller. The support line is available Monday to Friday from 10am and 6pm on 020 8683 3311.
For more information about the support line and our sexual harassment procedure please visit: https://labour.org.uk/about/sexual-harassment-policy/
