Book excerpt: We are born into it, it is there throughout our lives, and we die in its care. As the National Health Service passes its fiftieth birthday, there is a growing fear that the foundations on which it was established are crumbling. This book looks behind the headlines and explains in a simple, straightforward way, what has happened to our NHS, and what future waits in store.The most recent NHS reforms - the internal market - will be replaced. But by what? Can the system be made more accountable? How can the balance of knowledge be shifted towards the patient? Is the NHS underfunded? Should some elements of NHS activity be charged to patients? Will the British public agree on what is an illness? Can this lead to rational rationing? Can the relationship between public and private sectors be made to work? The time for a fundamental debate on the future of the health system has come. It is a debate of great importance and one we must face now, before it is too late. In this extensively researched work, author and journalist Oliver Morgan traces the development of the NHS, assesses its current state of health, and opens the debate on its future.
Download or read book Geographies of Care written by Christine Milligan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. As care services in Britain have moved from institutional to community-based environments, there has been a simultaneous shift in those agencies concerned with the provision of such care and support. this new environment of care is a complex one, involving numerous different actors and agencies that operate across various different spatial and organizational levels of the policy process. The implementation and success of care policies depend in part on the inter-relationships between these various players. This book examines these inter-relationships, illustrated by an in-depth empirical study of policy makers and informal care providers concerned with the frail elderly in Scotland. Taking the voluntary sector as a lens through which these inter-relationships are explored, it analyzes how voluntary support is affected by differing local contexts of care and what this means in terms of locally based care outcomes.
