Ken Loach, Film Director
There was a growing scandal about the consequences of homelessness in the 1960s. The writer Jeremy Sandford proposed a film on the subject and together we saw the sad reality of what being without a home meant for many families – a succession of squalid rooms, dormitories
and, eventually, disintegration. Cathy Come Home tried to show this. However, we did not deal with the underlying causes of homelessness: a chaotic market economy which cannot plan employment, housing and all the necessary services to make stable communities.
Aneurin Bevan was unique
Michael Foot, Ex-Labour Party Leader
Aneurin Bevan was unique. There was no one else even remotely like him. As a man, a speaker and a political leader he always acted in a style completely individual to himself.
Oxfam believes that good health care is a fundamental right
Jonathan Tench, Oxfam Cymru
Aneurin Bevan’s principal drive in establishing the National Health Service was to reverse a historical imbalance. It is the same imbalance that informs Oxfam’s global health campaign today. Bevan fought for the NHS because until then there had always been more medical knowledge in existence than the masses had been able to reach. The general availability of knowledge could be achieved, he believed, only by a public health service, free at the point of use.
This year we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the National Health Service

The National Health Service (NHS) is frequently criticised for being not a health service, but an illness service.
