National Insurance Card (1915)

Featured in the Pre-NHS Healthcare Reforms gallery.

Lloyd George introduced National Insurance in 1911, providing cash benefits in times of sickness and access to a doctor chosen from a local panel for what grew to become the majority of working people by the 1930s. Contributions by employees were recognised with stamps and matched by both employers and the government.
