Liberating the NHS; commissioning, outsourcing and a new politics debate

Regan, P; Ball, E

Abstract

In the short months following the result of the UK 2010 General election,
a new Government White Paper has been released entitled: Equity and
Excellence: Liberating the NHS (Department of Health (DH), 2010a). It strives
to distance itself from previous health-care proposals (DH, 2009), yet if the
initiatives of this latest paper are combined against previous initiatives,
also using high impact declarative terms, such as competition and choice,
it is clear that little has changed and more important principles than saving
money are at risk.
