Factors associated with positive blood cultures in children in nine African and Asian countries
BACKGROUND: Blood culture (BC) in children has relatively low diagnostic yield and high contamination rates, limiting cost-effectiveness. We aimed to determine readily available baseline characteristics to identify hospitalised children with a likelihood of higher diagnostic yield in low- and middle-income countries. METHODS: We used data from ACORN2, a prospective clinical surveillance network including 19 hospitals across Africa and Asia. We in…
Early cost-effectiveness analysis of a novel rapid diagnostic test for tuberculosis in rural Philippine settings
Tuberculosis disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where gold standard molecular diagnostic assays like Xpert MTB/RIF are relatively frequently inaccessible. A novel rapid molecular diagnostic test (nLRDT), which can test tongue swab samples, and is more suitable for decentralised primary healthcare settings, has been developed and is currently undergoing preclinical validation. This study evaluated the early cost-e…
Policy Agendas in British Politics
Understanding Public Policy
The UK Coalition government
Narrative stories offer insight into political agency and constructed reality. They are also part of the armoury for maintaining political ascendancy. The UK Cameron–Clegg Coalition government’s public service reform narrative juxtaposed its open, transparent and decentralized approach with the top-down configuration of institutional power attributed to New Labour. The more complex reality of public service reform is exemplified particularly from…

Dismantling Democratic States
Dismantling Democratic States, Ezra Suleiman, Princeton and Oxford, Princeton University Press, 2003, pp. 327. At the heart of this comparative text is a fundamental critique of the substitution of the norms of the market place for those of collective public interest. As citizens are transformed into ubiquitous consumers , so the reinvention of government raises profound questions about the public domain and its role. To this extent, the New Publ…
Modernising Local Government
This article takes an indicative group of county, metropolitan and unitary authorities located in the English West Midlands to examine how effectively local government is grappling with modernising’ reforms in a context where the appropriate unit of analysis has become problematic because of broader changes to local governance. Sub-national territorial structural variability is becoming more pronounced while, paradoxically, what stands out in the…
Peter Self's Legacy
Peter Self (1919-1999) was a participant in the policy-making domain as well as a distinguished academic. This assessment is primarily concerned with his contribution to the academic study of political science, including the sub-disciplines of public policy and public administration. It selects four ‘volumes of influence’ spanning the period from 1972 to 2000. The evaluation particularly focuses upon the relevance of Self's work to on-going predi…
UK Local Action Zones and Changing Urban Governance
This article deals with UK Education and Health Action Zones, area-based partnership programmes, taking account of New Labour's 'modernising government' agenda and the academic partnership literature. Formative zone experiences again highlight major obstacles to effective local partnership working, exacerbated by the essentially top-down nature of the initiatives, albeit accommodating realities on the ground. Despite at one level prioritising cha…

Public Services under New Labour
A by-product of the fragmentation of services that occurred at local government level under the Conservative Government was the emergence of networks and other forms of joint working. These became formalised particularly through various economic and urban regeneration schemes. But elsewhere they were often an ad hoc response to the changing local governance structures. The election of the Labour Government in 1997 has, this article contends, seen…
Local Authorities and Non–elected Agencies
This article deals with developing relationships between local authorities and local non–elected public service agencies in England and Wales. It classifies local authority responses to the growth of the non–elected state. Account is taken of varying agency characteristics and the constraints and dilemmas they face. From the local authority vantage point what is at stake is organizational (re)positioning in a changing institutional environment. I…
