Originally published in 1980, this book explores how the NHS confronts perennial stresses and problems, considering in particular the allocation of the scarce resources within the health service. Written by distinguished academics, three of whom previously undertook research work for the Royal Commission on the NHS, the discussion centres on whether more could not be spent, whether resources are being allocated equitably, how planning can work most effectively, whether there are feasible ways of financing the service and how organisation and management could be improved: in short, all issues which continue to be pertinent to the NHS today.
'It is very useful...for people who wish to gain a general insight into the finances, organisation and management of the National Health Service over the period 1848-1979....(it) will be particularly valuable to people outside Britain who wish to know how the health service is managed...to specialist students (administrative, financial, nursing or medical) in Britain who want a thorough introduction to resource allocation in health care.' K. G. Wright, Social Science and Medicine.
