Explore the historical and modern complexities of the UK medical system with Health and the National Health Service by Routledge. Part of the Contemporary Issues in Public Policy series, this text examines the origins of the NHS, which emerged amidst significant ideological conflict between the Post-war Labour Government and the Conservative Party. Authors Carrier and Kendall analyze the tensions regarding centrally planned medical care and the concerns held by the medical establishment regarding professional autonomy. By setting health policy in both historical and modern contexts, including the post-1997 era, this book weighs the successes and failures of the National Health Service. It provides a deep look at the conflicts that have shaped the service, making it a valuable resource for those studying public policy and healthcare history.
