The changing NHS 1984-1995
1 We describe in this chapter some of the principal changes which occurred in the NHS in the 1980s and the 1990s. By doing so we do not intend to offer a history of the NHS over that period. Rather we highlight certain changes which provide the necessary background to an understanding of the events in Bristol. A short historical account of the main changes to the organisation of the NHS between 1948 and 1995 is given in Annex A Chapter 2 - A Historical Background to the NHS and there are further papers in Annex B.
