By drawing on the positive experience of Fabian, combining the establishment of a jointly managed health system, the consolidation of redundant health services, the improvement of the administrative efficiency of government-related services, the development of voluntary hospitals and sanatoriums with the inherent commitment of the Labour Party to free health care for all, and the establishment of a public health sector at the national level, thus for the UK in the field of public health to establish a national medical social system to provide an excellent blueprint. Labour’s policies in the field of national health have profoundly changed the face of British society.
