The Socialist Medical Association (now the Socialist Health Association) was founded in 1930 to campaign for a National Health Service in the United Kingdom within the Labour Party. It absorbed many of those who had been active in the State Medical Service Association which collapsed as a result.〔(The Socialist Medical Association and the Foundation of the NHS )〕 In 1945 there were 9 members of the Association in the House of Commons, who hoped to influence the plans for the development of the National Health Service. There were communications with Bevan but his relations with the group were not particularly close. The Association was keen to press for doctors to be salaried and work full-time in Health centers. They wanted teaching hospitals to be integrated into the regional hospital organisations and criticised the segmentation of the service as a barrier to integrated services. The Association was active in campaigns against NHS charges, smoking, tuberculosis and for adequate nutrition, for the establishment of health centres and salaried general practitioners. It changed its name in 1980 as 'Socialist Health Association' to reflect increased interest in public health. It is associated with the campaigns against health inequality around the (Black Report ).
