This article examines the significance of the Beveridge report in the light of subsequent developments in health policy and the National Health Service, and considers Beveridge's vision and principles in the context of current and future health challenges. In exploring the post‐war history of health policy and services, it focuses on key themes in the Beveridge report such as prevention, coordination, comprehensive health coverage, funding and th…
The Big Society in an age of austerity
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Health consumer and patients' organizations (HCPOs) seek to influence policy. But how are they affected by developments in the policy context and political environment? DESIGN: The article draws on original research into HCPOs in the UK by the authors, including a major survey undertaken in 1999 and interviews with HCPOs and policymakers between 2000 and 2003 as well as a further survey in 2010. It also draws on a review…

Policy Success and Public Health
Like many countries, England has introduced a range of policies and strategies on public health since the early 1990s. Using concepts drawn from the policy success and failure literature, this article concludes that recent governments in England achieved only 'precarious success' in McConnell's typology. It demonstrates, with wider significance, that success or failure is not merely about policy achievement in programme terms, but that policy pro…

Prevention better than cure? Health consumer and patients' organisations and public health
Health consumer and patients' organizations in Europe
Despite the rise of health consumer and patients’ organizations (HCPOs) in modern health‐care systems, studies are few and far between. In particular there is a lack of comparative research across Europe and at the pan‐European level. In an effort to address this gap, an expert workshop was held in Vienna in February 2006. This involved 22 delegates from 10 European Countries and was funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF). The workshop r…

Betraying the NHS
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum? Reforming Patient and Public Involvement in the NHS in England
This article explores the introduction of a new system of patient and public involvement (PPI) in the NHS in England. After seeking to clarify the terminology found in this field, the article explores the background to the new system, why proposals were brought forward by the government and how they were implemented. The article also examines the main criticisms of the new system, which include under-resourcing, lack of capacity, complexity and f…
Influencing the national policy process
Introduction Whilst recent research has focused on consumer involvement at local level in the UK, there have been few studies of the representation of user, carer and patients’ interests nationally. This paper concentrates on the role of health consumer groups in representing the collective interests of patients, users and carers in the national policy process. Methods The research consisted of (a) a semi‐structured postal questionnaire survey of…
Representing the repressed? Health consumer groups and the national policy process
English Health consumer groups – voluntary organisations representing patients, users and carers – have become increasingly active in the national policy process in recent years. Groups have constructed alliances with each other, and with other interests in the health policy arena. They have developed extensive contacts within the political system and have generated social and political resources valued by government and other stakeholders. Group…

Health consumer groups in the UK
This paper argues that a health consumer movement has developed in the United Kingdom over the last decade. Drawing on two empirical studies of groups that promote and/or represent the interests of patients, users and carers, it argues that groups formed by people with personal experience of a condition are now more widespread. Feelings of pain and loss can lead to the identification of others in a similar position, and to the formation of groups…

Evaluating Health Care Reform
The NHS internal market, introduced in an atmosphere of controversy, continues to generate much disagreement. This article examines the evidence on the impact of this policy with regard to a range of criteria, including efficiency, accountability, effective planning and co‐ordination, patient choice and service quality, equity, and the culture of the NHS. It explores the different ways in which this evidence is perceived and seeks to make explici…

Reforming the British Health Care System
Getting Politics out of Health
It has from time to time been argued that health should be taken out of politics. In recent years this view has persisted, most notably in ministerial statements, as the government has pursued policies which appear to have the potential to remove the NHS from the political arena. Meanwhile, the political profile of health issues has continued to rise. This article explores the meaning of depoliticisation in relation to healthcare, and assesses th…
Looking Forward to the Past? The Politics of Public Health
This article explores the role of political agents, institutions, circumstances, and ideas in the development of public health policies in Britain. The first part attempts to define public health. The second section of the article looks at the experience of the Victorian public health movement. The final part considers the re-emergence of the public health perspective. The underlying theme of the article is that an awareness of the political dime…
Regulatory Reform in Britain
Self‐regulation has been at the centre of a number of public and academic debates in Britain in recent years. This article enquires into the nature of self‐regulation and attempts to improve our understanding of it in a number of ways: by attempting to define self‐regulation; by assessing certain trends and developments in self‐regulatory systems; by trying to explain these trends and developments; and by outlining the implications of self‐regula…
Government — Industry Relations in Britain
In recent years, political scientists have taken a greater interest in the relationship between government and industry. This article examines the specific relationship between the government and the tobacco industry in a structured fashion, so as to facilitate comparisons with other industries. Three factors which have shaped this relationship are examined: the pressures on government to intervene in the affairs of the industry; the complexity o…

By Voluntary Agreement
There are many ways in which policies can be sanctioned, and legislation is only one of a number of alternatives. This article examines one such alternative: voluntary agreements. After outlining the major characteristics of this policy instrument there is an examination of the various factors which appear to influence their selection in favour of legislation. This is followed by an attempt to trace a pattern of policy succession by examining thr…
The Politics of Self-Regulation
Studies of quasi-government have tended to focus on public sector ‘quangos’ and their implications for accountability and democracy. In contrast, this article focuses on a rather neglected aspect of quasi-government: the role of semi-private bodies and how they emerge and develop. By focusing on the emergence, development and persistence of the self-regulatory system of advertising control, a number of important insights for quasi-government, pol…

Alcohol, Politics and Social Policy
The growing awareness of the importance of lifestyle factors in the prevention of ill-health has stimulated a number of policy studies. But of the main causes of preventable ill-health alcohol misuse has been comparatively neglected, in spite of the fact that it also has wider implications for a range of other social problems. This article attempts to fill this gap by charting the development of alcohol policy and the alcohol issue over the last …
