June 14, 2011 5:30 p.m. – 8 p.m.
The miner’s canary, may it fly
This free public lecture by Professor Anthony Beddow explores Wales’ contribution to the NHS, especially through the work of David Lloyd George and Aneurin Bevan.
It challenges current thinking which seeks to apply market-style solutions to health care and seeks to learn lessons from the recent financial crisis. It encourages the listener to remember the reasons why the NHS is shaped as it is so that alternatives can be robustly challenged rather than being meekly adopted.
