Is England Always Behind the USA?

Ronald MacKeith D.M., F.R.C.P.1

1 Guy's Hospital, London, England

I would answer Dr. Cone's note (Pediatrics, 47:769, 1971) by telling him that at least one English reader thinks the National Health Service (1948) brought medical care to all children, with every part of the country having specialist pediatricians available for seeing children referred by their general practitioners and a universal preventive service for infants, preschool, and school children, without division into indigent and nonindigent, and that England is not now always behind the U.S.A. in all aspects of child care.
