The first baby ever born on the NHS says British people take their health service ‘for granted’ as she leads calls for children to be taught about the ‘national treasure’ in schools.
Mrs Thomas, who was named after the service’s founder Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan, said she feels it is her duty to inform people about the work of the NHS. But Mrs Thomas said that the service is our ‘national treasure’ and she feels the NHS will still be around in another 75 years. ‘In Wales, we don’t pay for prescriptions and sometimes I’m standing in a chemist and people are complaining about a wait of 10 minutes for prescriptions, and I feel like screaming ‘do you realise how lucky we are to have the health care system that we have?”
