Administration of Medicine*

This plan is the parent of all regional schemes of health services. It represented an honest and able attempt to reconcile conflicting medical interests for the benefit of the public. It is regrettable that medical and public opinion was not at the time enlightened enough to give adequate consideration to this report. The proposal might have been worked out on an experimental basis in one or two areas. Something of the kind was indeed attempted in Gloucestershire, but through lack of central encouragement it achieved only partial success.
