| AdminHistory | The NHS Hospital Advisory service was set up in 1969 to help improve the management of patient care in individual hospitals and in the hospital service as a whole. In 1976 the remit was expanded to cover community health services and the service was renamed the Health Advisory Service. At the same time joint working with the Social Work Service for the DHSS and the Welsh Office was established in order that the social services complimentary to the Health Advisory Service could be visited and social services expertise provided in the teams. In England the HAS was concerned with services for mentally ill people and elderly people and with children except mentally handicapped children who were covered by the National Develop Team for the Mentally Handicapped. |
