The health care systems of the world continuously have to adapt to change. Modern medicine and its associated technologies are advancing at such a pace that the financing of a health service, together with the associated ethical, social and professional issues, need to be constantly re-examined. This book has emerged from the challenges arising from the pressures for change in health provisions in the UK. Large organizations tend to resist change and the National Health Service is no exception. Recognized authorities in the fields of medicine, health care and social science provide information for discussion and debate. Each author documents the events of the preceding ten years followed by various policy alternatives, including the status quo, with a discussion of future options.
