| Annotation | This book - which describes the law in force as in October 1996 - covers public health law and the workings of the NHS (National Health Service), including handling of complaints. It explores the general framework for regulating health care practice, the workings of relevant professional bodies, malpractice law, and the law governing the use of medicines. A section on the legal status of patients covers the law of consent, confidentiality, and access to health records, those with mental illnesses, and those involved in research. The last part examines ethical problems, including transplantation, terminal care and euthanasia. |
