Description

Explore the complex landscape of health and welfare through the lens of historical inquiry reports. The Age of the Inquiry examines the massive surge of reports published during the 1990s that addressed various user groups, individuals, and institutions within the health and social care sectors. This book investigates the fundamental questions surrounding these investigations: What were the commonalities and differences between various inquiries? How much actual change did they produce in the field? Most importantly, whose interests were served by these processes? By bringing together distinguished contributors who have firsthand experience chairing or providing evidence to these inquiries, the text provides a unique perspective. Readers gain insight into the participant's view of the inquiry process and the underlying purpose of these investigations. It is an essential resource for those studying the impact of institutional oversight and the dynamics of learning and blaming within health and social care systems.
