Excerpt from The State and the Doctor
In the absence of any more exhaustive survey of our State Doctoring, made by some more highly qualified observer, we think that our imperfect sketch may be of use, if only as demonstrating the need for something better. The sketch was made, in the first place, at the instance of the Royal Com mission on the Poor Law, to whom it was submitted as a Memorandum in 1907. We have enlarged and extended it, as far as possible bringing it up to date; and we have added some explanation of the conclusions to which we have been led, and of the proposals that seem to us best calculated to stop the waste and to straighten out the tangle.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of medical care for the poor in the early 20th century. The author traces the origins of state medical services back to the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, showing how the provision of medical care for the poor became increasingly intertwined with the broader public health movement. The book also examines the different ways in which medical care was provided to the poor through both voluntary and public agencies. It highlights the challenges faced by policymakers in balancing the need to provide adequate medical care for the poor with the desire to minimize costs. Ultimately, the book argues that the fragmented and inefficient state of medical care for the poor was a direct result of the conflicting principles that guided its development. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of public health and social welfare in the United Kingdom.
