2006 marks the 60th anniversary of the passing of the National Health
Service Act, keystone of the postwar welfare state and the slayer of
Beveridge’s giant of Disease. This symposium aims to explore the
development of these health and welfare policies, their wartime
synthesis and their peacetime implementation and operation, and to
demonstrate the intersections of change and continuity in the long
running trends underpinning health and welfare provision.
Attendance is free, however places are limited and will be allocated on
