Stephen

James Lake Taylor, Baron Taylor (SJL

Taylor) (30 December 1910 – 1 February 1988) was a British physician, civil servant, politician and educator. Born in High Wycombe, Stephen was the son of John Taylor, a civil

engineer, and his wife Beatrice (Lake) Taylor. Educated at Stowe School and then at St Thomas Hospital Medical

School, London, where he qualified in 1934. When war broke out he joined

the RNVR as a

neuropsychiatrist. But in 1941, the government transferred him to the Ministry

of Information. He worked on a plan to publish information about health

services to the public during wartime. From 1940 to 1944 he was Director

of Home intelligence and

the Wartime Social Survey in the Ministry of

Information. But by 1944 it appears he was already working for

the Labour Party to

achieve an electoral victory at the war's end. Successfully elected Member of Parliament for Barnet in

July 1945, he was appointed Parliamentary Private

Secretary to the Deputy Prime Minister and Lord President of the

Council from 1947. He was an expert policy advisor on the National Health Service. In

1951 he was invited by the Nuffield

Provincial Hospitals Trust to carry out a survey of general practice. He went on to make a significant contribution

to the development of general practice, holding a number of positions on medical

boards and other organisations, including two stints as a member of Harlow New Town Development Corporation. In 1955 he was appointed medical director to

Harlow health Industrial Health Service for a period of nine years. But it

appears was in such demand, that two years later resumed his role into

retirement. Taylor was instrumental in the creation of Health Centres in

Harlow. His model was rolled out to all major city centres across Britain,

developing dental and nursing support within group practices. His survey of

1954 entitled Good General Practice was based on qualitative

interviews at practices already identified as performing well by Joseph

Collings report, General Practice in England : A Reconnaissance,

(1950). NHS GP profession was still in its infancy, requiring much pioneering

work to improve its services. Taylor sat on the Central Health Services Council, chaired by Sir Harry

Cohen, the boss of Tesco. Local doctors had traditionally worked

alone or in pairs, but the report resulted in group practice becoming the norm
