Abstract
This paper examines popular and professional attitudes towards the introduction of socialised medicine in the UK. It finds first that there was middle-class and professional hostility to the introduction of the NHS and that popular attitudes to the system in place before the NHS were by no means universally hostile. It then finds that the Lloyd George’s health insurance act met with extraordinary political and professional opposition. It concludes that socialised medicine arrived because of the beliefs of progressive politicians, not because of overwhelming public demand.
