Parents and Children - What do you know about... the National Health Service?

Twinkly-eyed Nationwide veteran Michael Barratt asks the questions with guest agony aunt Claire Rayner offering some expert advice in this light-hearted quiz from 1973. Michael Barratt proves himself impeccably qualified to host the show by revealing that he has six children himself.

Claire Rayner initially trained as a nurse and a midwife before beginning her journalistic career as a medical correspondent on Woman's Own. She went on to publish over 75 books and became one of the most famous agony aunts in the UK.

↗ Originally broadcast 18 February 1973.
