Gavin Francis shows us why we should fight for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Since its birth in 1948, the powers that be have chipped away at the NHS. Now, Britain's best-loved institution is under greater threat than ever, besieged by a deadly combination of underfunding, understaffing and the predatory private sector.  In the wake of the pandemic, we have come to accept a 'new normal' of permanent crisis and years-long waiting lists. But, as Gavin Francis reveals in this short, vital book- it doesn't have to be this way, and until recently, it wasn't. Drawing on the history of the NHS as well as his own experience as a GP, he introduces us to the inner workings of an institution that has never been perfect but which transformed the lives and health of millions, for free - and which has never been more important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those who believe in the future of the NHS and its founding principles, this is essential reading from the bestselling author of Recovery and Intensive Care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43104794705964,"sku":"9781800819252","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781800819252.jpg?v=1713015133","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/free-for-all-why-the-nhs-is-worth-saving","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
