Synopsis

This book, dating back to 1890, contains the collected proceedings of the House of Lords inquiry into the state of hospitals within the metropolis and provisions for the care and treatment of the sick poor. The book unveils the diverse methods employed during this period, including hospitals, dispensaries and poor law relief, supported by funds from charitable institutions and endowments, and sheds light on the challenges of congestion, inequality of access, and the complex relationship between free and paid medical services. The author argues, through a plethora of evidence and case studies, that hospital and medical care were being abused by those who could afford to pay and were therefore a drain on precious resources. The author's examination of this subject provides valuable insights and recommendations for improving healthcare systems and ensuring equitable access to essential medical care.
