5 July 2023 marks 75 years of the National Health Service!
Treating over a million people a day in England, the NHS touches all of our lives. When it was founded in 1948, the NHS was the first universal health system to be available to all, free at the point of delivery. Today, nine in 10 people agree that healthcare should be free of charge, more than four in five agree that care should be available to everyone, and that the NHS makes them most proud to be British.
To all our staff and supporters we say a huge thank you, and a huge Happy Birthday to the NHS!
