Financing Medicine brings together a collection of essays dealing with the financing of medical care in Britain since the mid-eighteenth century, with a view to addressing two major issues:

  • Why did the funding of the British health system develop in the way it did?
  • What were the ramifications of these arrangements for the nature and extent of health care before the NHS?
  • The book also goes on to explore the 'lessons' and legacies of the past which bear upon developments under the NHS.

    The contributors to this volume provide a sustained and detailed examination of the model of health care which preceded the NHS - an organization whose distinctive features hold such fascination for the scholars of health systems - and their insights illuminate current debates on the future of the NHS.

    For students and scholars of the history of medicine, this will prove essential reading.
