Introduction The Case for Change What Is Wrong With the NHS A Vision for the NHS Breaking the Dysfunctional Dynamics Creating Sustainability and Building International Competitiveness
The author of this book believes passionately in the National Health Service and through his work offers the government recommendations for how its reform process can be saved from failure. The NHS will only survive and be true to its founding principles if the reform programme is driven forward - and if the book's recommendations are implemented
"This is a powerful challenge to the conventional wisdom about choice and competition as dangers to the NHS. It makes a strong case that patient choice and competition are essential both for improving services now and for creating incentives to use innovation in the future. It should be essential reading for managers and health professionals who want to understand the real choices facing the NHS." Nick Bosanquet, Professor of Health Policy, Imperial College
