July 2, 2008

The Prince of Wales and Gordon Brown are just two of the distinguished guests attending a 60th bithday bash for Britain's National Health Service today.

It's being held at Westminster Abbey in honour of those people who have made contributions to the health of our nation over the years.

Speaking to Premier, the Dean of Westminster, the Very Revd Dr John Hall explains why in a time of negative press it's important we celebrate the work of the NHS.
