Before 1948 the body contributed significantly to London's voluntary hospitals.
Founded as the Prince of Wales's Hospital Fund for London in 1897,[6] the fund changed its name in 1902 to King Edward's Hospital Fund after the accession to the throne of King Edward VII.[7] In 1907, Parliament incorporated the fund as the King's Fund.
The fund was originally set up to contribute to London's voluntary hospitals and did so, which it later started to inspect and expand. After the NHS was created in 1948, the fund became a think tank.[7] In 1992 the influential King's Fund's Commission on London's Health Care identified high costs and lower throughput of central London hospitals and recommended reduction in acute services and parallel improvements in primary care.[9]
