The vast majority of GPs resisted the founding of the NHS – here’s why

Retrieved on: 
Friday, April 5, 2024

Securing the reluctant assent of general practitioners (GPs) was one of Labour health minister Nye Bevan’s most difficult tasks in founding the NHS by July 5 1948.

Key Points: 
  • Securing the reluctant assent of general practitioners (GPs) was one of Labour health minister Nye Bevan’s most difficult tasks in founding the NHS by July 5 1948.
  • Bevan’s eventual compromise with the doctors’ union representing GPs, the British Medical Association (BMA), still casts its shadow over health services today.
  • Bevan became minister on August 5 1945, inheriting a legacy of attempts to create a health service during the second world war.
  • These different groups of doctors were the hospital specialists and consultants, local authority medical officers and GPs.

Troublesome

  • While Bevan bought hospital specialists and consultants and sold out the ideals of local authority medical officers, GPs remained troublesome throughout negotiations, right up to the day the NHS began.
  • GPs remained independent doctors who ran their own surgeries, maintaining their own list of patients.
  • Poor pay from the 1911 reforms meant lists were bloated for GPs to remain afloat, especially in deprived areas.
  • Together, these last-minute concessions meant the NHS launched to much fanfare in Park Hospital, Trafford, by Bevan on July 5 1948.

Legacy

  • Despite recurrent rounds of reforms over the intervening decades, GPs remain mostly independent doctors contracted to provide certain services rather than salaried workers.
  • Despite these losses, the basic professional model that GPs fought hard to retain in 1948 – one dating back to 1911 – remains recognisable today.
