The National Health Service, described by Nigel Lawson as Britain's only 'national religion', has never been more popular. So why is the government so desperate to reform it? Last year, the Office of National Statistics reported higher public satisfaction with the NHS than at any time since its foundation. In a 2012 survey of developed countries, the UK showed the highest public support of its health system. Politicians can hardly be surprised then, when their plans for reforms are met with public dismay and professional fury. 'God Bless the NHS' looks at the ideology behind the current reforms and the reasons why the government decided to take on the nation's most treasured institution.
