| Annotation | This book analyses the evolution and political dynamics of Britain's National Health Service from 1948 to the present. It traces the way in which successive governments have tried to deal with the problems of a centralised health care system; the tensions between central control and local responsiveness; and between managerial influence and medical autonomy. In doing so, it examines the role of the different parties in the health care policy arena - political parties, professions, consumers and interest groups. It is based on original research and is aimed at undergraduate students of social policy, NHS managers and health care professionals. (KJ). |
