Who was the Minister of Health who set up the NHS?
Correct Answer:
Aneurin Bevan
Explanation:
The key idea is identifying who led the creation of the NHS within the postwar Labour government. Aneurin Bevan, as Secretary of State for Health, drove the plan to unite hospitals and provide care funded by taxation and free at the point of use. He pushed this through under Prime Minister Clement Attlee, and the NHS began in 1948. The other figures listed were Prime Ministers in different periods, not the Health Minister responsible for setting up the NHS. That association is why the name most closely linked to founding the NHS is Aneurin Bevan.
