Ian Coulson has produced an interesting unit on continuity and change in the first 50 years after the formation of the NHS. The illustration of this page is very handy and helps students to understand how changes have occurred during their own lifetimes. http://www.kented.org.uk/ngfl/subjects/history/medhist/page38_contin.html
