Report on the British Health Services: A Survey of the Existing Health Services in Great Britain with Proposals for Future Development; December 1937 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Report on the British Health Services: A Survey of the Existing Health Services in Great Britain With Proposals for Future Development; December 1937

The order of treatment we have adopted begins with a brief summary of the general administrative mechanism of the British health services. Then follows a review of services of an impersonal protective nature - housing in its health aspects, sanitation, water supply, atmospheric pollution, the prevention of noise, the protection of the purity and safety of human food, the control of the trade in medicines, and the measures for controlling outbreaks of infectious diseases.

Next we deal with the protection of the health of the worker in factories, offices, shops, mines and transport undertakings - a service which is also largely impersonal.
