The Politics of Health Policy Reform in the UK: England's Permanent Revolution: 2016

This book explains the politics of thirty years of æmarket reformÆ in the English NHS, with the rest of the UK a counter-factual. Paton shows how each subsequent reform has been shaped by the confusion left by the previous reform. The long-term ideology has been anti-statist but policy-making at each stage of æreformÆ has been driven by short-term politics. The outcome in England has been ever-increasing complexity in the NHS, with significantly increased management costs and no commensurate benefit.
