Author Description

"As politicians and the public gear up for the general election in May 2015, how will the coalition government be judged on its NHS reforms? The NHS under the coalition government argues that the 2010-15 parliament has been a parliament of two halves for the NHS. The first half was dominated by debate about the Health and Social Care Bill which was intended to devolve decision-making and extend competition and choice in the NHS. The second half was taken up with limiting the damage caused by the Bill and giving priority to patient safety and the quality of care."--Back cover.
