1950s to 1970s NHS Political Recollections by DR in a tribute to Ken Day, on Ken's retirement

On June 28th 1979 a dinner was held at the Birmingham City Council House, in celebration of Ken Day's retirement from the Family Services Section of the National Health Service, in Birmingham. Thirty-one years earlier, DR had been part of a committee who had interviewed Ken for the post of Clerk to the Executive Council. Ken succeeded in being recruited and from then on became a close colleague and friend of DR. The dinner speeches have been divided into two videos. Part 1 is DR's tribute to Ken and is also a recollection of the difficult circumstances that prevailed when setting up the NHS. When the NHS was created in 1948 not everyone was happy with the situation, especially the doctors. DR remembers run-ins with various ministers and civil servants from the 1950s to the 1970s. The speech may be of interest to students of the National Health Service. Links which may be of interest: The Birmingham Council House: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_Hous...
