Dismantling the NHS?: Evaluating the Impact of Health Reforms

Book Overview

The 2012 Health and Social Care Act, a major initiative of the Coalition Government, set in motion what are arguably the most extensive reforms undertaken since the founding of the UK National Health Service. This book brings together contributors from the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand to examine those reforms in the contexts of national health policy, service provision, governance, and more. Collectively, the contributions present a broader assessment of the trajectory of health reforms in the context of market-oriented reform and the rise of health consumerism.
