| Whakarāpopototanga: | "Improving access to hospital services has been a goal of public policy in Britain for over seventy years, but the means by which this goal is to be attained have changed significantly over time. Drawing substantially on original research, Planning, Markets and Hospitals represents a systematic attempt to assess the strengths and weaknesses of different forms of planning and coordination of hospital development.". "The book encompasses an era which began with a mixed economy of hospital provision in the inter-war period, incorporating some embryonic public-private partnerships. There ensued, after 1948, a period of hierarchical planning, symbolised by the 1962 Hospital Plan. Frustrations with the problems of implementing this Plan led ultimately to the re-emergence of pro-competitive solutions to hospital development, exemplified by the 1991 NHS reforms and the subsequent Private Finance Initiative. Despite these important changes, however, the book shows that there were also substantial continuities in terms of regulatory and steering mechanisms in the hospital service."--BOOK JACKET. |
