John Marks's vehemence in defending the National Health Service, based on long experience as a London family doctor, in top posts in medical politics, and as a historian of general practice was never seen better than in the BMA campaign he ran as chairman of the BMA's council during the proposed NHS "reforms" in the late 1980s. Whatever Marks's high distinctions, the Conservative government was never likely to forgive him and honour him as he deserved and it didn't. |
