Just a small point Cashy but an important one. The White Paper that created the NHS was drawn up by the Minister of Health in 1944 and was implemented in '47 or thereabouts by the Labour Government.
However, the Minister of Health in 1944 was a Tory - this is a matter of record.
So even though it was a coalition government in '44 one can argue that the NHS was the creation of the Tory Party
