Summary

Demonstrates that balanced assessment of the UK's National Health Service (NHS) has been impeded by political correctness and rhetoric, and examines to what extent the NHS has achieved its objectives, how its performance compares with other countries, and the impact of recent reforms. Draws on original research to examine health care before NHS, traces its changing policies, and attempts to predict its future direction. Intended for textbook use by students of social policy, health policy, and politics. Also of interest to health care professionals. Distributed by Taylor & Francis.
