Product Description
Excerpt from Health and the State
Throughout the book I have endeavoured to indicate the need for far closer investigation by the State of the problems presented by disease, and more thorough con sideration of Public Health proposals before they become law - ends which can only be achieved by the establishment of a Ministry of Health.
