Bevan.

'Aneira has written a memoir which is a deeply personal, richly
researched and incredibly timely tribute to Britain's commitment to
provide free and equal healthcare to all.' - Daily Mail Book of the
Week, 22 May 2020
'This book speaks from the heart about a passion to preserve our
NHS - as powerful a symbol of goodness as we have. Nye's own
experience and that of her family represents our deep need to fight
for a society where all are equal in worth and value. And how the
NHS stands fast as a symbol of equality, of fairness, and of
compassion for all.' Michael Sheen
'I am a proud supporter of our National Health Service which has
shown yet again what an important and valued institution it is in
the UK. As the first NHS baby through to her work today, Aneira's
story shows her dedication and passion for protecting this
phenomenal service for future generations.' Keir Starmer
