The New Politics of the NHS
From Creation to Reinvention
Description:... "This new edition makes sense of the confusing and often conflicting NHS debates. It provides vital background and tells the story of the evolution of the NHS over the past 60 years, and the way successive-governments tried to deal with the problems they faced. It explores how lessons from the past can inform current debate and demonstrates how channels of power and influence function today." "Assuming no prior knowledge of NHS politics and systems, The New Politics of the NHS is completely up-to-date, impartial and well informed. It focuses on key issues such as party political debates, interest groups, management, structure, centralisation, funding, economic performance and rationing." "It is an important update for all healthcare professionals, NHS managers, policy makers and shapers, and those in special interest groups including patient advocacy organisations."--BOOK JACKET.
