History
The Politics Of Health Group (POHG) was established in 1977; comprised of socialists and feminists working in the health service or researching health issues, it also included activists, community workers and others interested in the politics of health; the aim of the Group was to examine the link between ill health and inequality in society, and to consider improvements to the National Health Service; the group gave rise to new independent organisations including the Women's Health Information Centre and Radical Nurses, and initiated the creation of the London Food Commission; POHG disbanded in 1986.
