Amid the recent celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS), a report appeared that outlined future directions for Britain’s cherished free health care system. Entitled High quality care for all, it had been assembled by Lord Ara Darzi, a practising surgeon and professor of surgery, a peer in the House of Lords, and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health. It detailed reforms designed to ensure high-quality care for patients and programs to promote the health of the public at large.
