60th ANNIVERSARY OF THE NHS AND THE TREDEGAR MEDICAL AID SOCIETY

Motion Text

That this House remembers, and pays tribute to, the Tredegar Medical Aid Society and the people of the South Wales Valleys for the part they played in influencing and guiding Aneurin Bevan, then representing the parliamentary constituency now called Blaenau Gwent, in the creation of the National Health Service; celebrates this year, its 60th Anniversary and the role played by Aneurin Bevan in its creation; and reinforces the principle of health provision free at the point of need, which is as relevant today as it was 60 years ago.
