"Medical treatment [. . .] will be provided for all citizens by a ____” (Beveridge Report, 1942) (8,6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

national health service

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'medical treatment will be provided for all citizens' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'by a beveridge report 1942' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'by' could be 'at' and 'at' is located in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for national health service that I've seen is " NHS in full".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
