The NHS is the result of an investigation into health care which resulted in a cross party report known as the Beveridge report. One of the prime movers in this was Churchill who I think was then sitting as a Liberal MP.
Good as he was Bevan just happened to be the health minister who actioned it but it would have happened anyway. There were not really any alternatives.
