Aneurin Bevan was a British Labour Party politician who took up the portfolio of Health and Housing during Clement Attlee’s government from 1945 to 1951. His contribution to the Welfare State has been immense. Born in a modest family, Bevan’s exposure to poverty and deprivation gave him a first-hand experience of unfortunate condition of the working class. As such, since young he became a passionate defender of social justice and rights of working class. He was an ardent advocator of socialism and served as a member of the parliament from Ebbw Vale in South Wales for 31 years. It was during Clement Attlee’s governance that Bevan came into prominence as the Minister of Health. During his stint as minister, he not just established National Health Service, which provided free medical aid but centralized nearly 2688 hospitals in England and Wales. Following the downfall of Attlee’s governance, the Labour Party divided into right and left wing. Subsequently, Bevan took up leadership of the left wing of Labour Party, a group which was commonly referred to as Bevanite. Right before his death, he was appointed as the Deputy leader of the Labour Party
