"This book explores how health inequalities have been examined in the past, and the policy record in treating them. The focus is on how health inequality has been dealt with since the founding of the National Health Service in 1948. Despite the egalitarian aspirations of its founders, fifty years of the NHS seems to have had little effect on levels of health inequality."--BOOK JACKET.
