| Annotation | Reforms of the National Health Service (NHS) in the early 21st century introduced some degree of choice and competition. This paper reviews performance of the NHS, and compares it with that of other health systems. It discusses the successes and shortcomings of the reform process, also proposals for competition for improving healthcare in England. It includes some comparative statistics for OECD countries in relation to 5-year mortality rates of cancer and stroke patients, and age-stadardised rates of mortality amenable to healthcare. The perspective is of healthcare as being amenable to market forces. (RH). |
