The National Health Service has provided Britain's healthcare since
1948. This institution has been the subject of tense political
debate since its inception and has undergone a number of complex
reforms and restructures. But the meanings of the NHS are not only
- or even primarily - lived out in politics. Nearly every Briton
comes into contact with the NHS - from cradle to grave - and this
system of healthcare shapes society, culture and everyday life.
This book charts these multiple meanings, looking at the NHS as a
site of work, activism and consumerism, as a space and in cultural
representations. Looking in these ways, the book shows how and why
the NHS has become a symbol of Britishness and an object of fierce
protectiveness, even love, today. -- .
