Description

Any analysis of health policy as a complext matter since health policy is influenced by a range of actors from health professionals, state officials and bureaucrats to related industrial interests and public opinion. Health policy in Britain is constantly developing and changing as a result of shifting political and economic tides. This collection of essays seeks to explore and analyze both aspects (macro and micro). The first section looks at the way the process of health reform at the political level is managed. It examines various aspects of the formation and implementation of health policy within the UK and the political processes shaping it. The second section looks more specifically at particular issues, such as public health, and examines how broader political pressures shape the delivery of health care.
