The NHS: A People's History S01E02 - Episode 2

Alex Brooker continues to chart the history of the National Health Service via the treasured mementos and personal stories of patients and staff whose lives it has affected since its inception in 1948.

This second episode covers a period in which the NHS expands beyond all recognition, as it is forced to evolve and adapt to the needs of an ever growing, and ever more diverse population, all against a background of social strife and the increasing pressures to privatise.
