CRADLE TO GRAVE - JOHN STEWART ALYSA LEVENE MAR...

The book examines  for the first time in any detail or in any depth  the provision of municipal
medicine in interwar England and Wales at both national and local case-study levels. Municipal
health care was an important  but historically neglected  part of the British health care
system in this period. The book presents conceptual and empirical perspectives on interwar
municipal medicine in England. Using a mixture of under-utilised quantitative and archival data
it explores the patterns of local authority medical services at both national and local levels.
What emerges is a complex pattern of provision which touched on all areas of healthcare from
the 'cradle to the grave'  but with very different priorities and forms in different places. In
turn  this raises important questions about the role of local government in this period before
the advent of the National Health Service and thereby the subsequent history of health care in
England.
