National Health Service Act 1946
The
National Health Service Act 1946
came into effect on 5 July 1948 and created the
National Health Service
in
England and Wales
. Though the title 'National Health Service' implies a single health service for the
United Kingdom
, in reality one NHS was created for England and Wales accountable to the
Secretary of State for Health
, with a separate NHS created for
Scotland
accountable to the
Secretary of State for Scotland
by the passage of the
National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1947
. Similar health services in Northern Ireland were created by the Northern Ireland Parliament through the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1948.
