Description
Health and Society in Twentieth-Century Wales offers a comprehensive exploration of health and society in twentieth-century Wales. This book examines various aspects of public health, personal lifestyles, household budgets, birth control, and mortality rates, shedding light on the complex relationships between individuals, communities, and institutions. Through a range of perspectives, including those of eminent doctors, refugee doctors, nurses, and sociologists, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the historical context in which healthcare was shaped. Drawing on newly released official government papers, it reveals the key negotiations that led to the devolution of health administration powers to the Welsh Office in 1969. By combining these diverse voices and sources, Health and Society in Twentieth-Century Wales offers a rich and detailed account of how Wales forged its own approach to healthcare, pioneering innovations that were later adopted across the UK.
