Jenkinson, Jacqueline: Scotland's Health 1919-1948

The author examines the political, economic and social context of health provision in Scotland, and considers the autonomy of Scottish health agencies in relation to central government pressures. Scotland’s health patterns are examined through case studies of the health of mothers and babies, and of school-children. Further case studies on tuberculosis and National Health Insurance focus on the health of the adult population. This study also explores wartime health policy and practice and discusses the advent of the National Health Service in Scotland. 506 Seiten, broschiert (Studies in the History of Medicine; Vol. 2/Peter Lang Verlag 2002) Mängelexemplar/near mint
