The Shape of Medical Devices Regulation in the United Kingdom? Brexit and Beyond
The United Kingdom’s Medicines and Medical Devices Act (MMD Act) 2021 received royal assent on 11 February 2021. In its passage through parliament, as well as in the accompanying Explanatory Notes, the Act was framed by the government as a necessary post-Brexit bill. Yet prior to this, it was widely presumed that existing statutory instruments, enacted in 2019 to address medical devices regulation in anticipation of a ‘No Deal Brexit’, would prov…

Charging ‘overseas visitors’ for NHS treatment, from Bevan to Windrush and beyond
This paper explores the development and operation of law and policy concerning the charging of overseas visitors for healthcare in England from the beginnings of the NHS to the present day. It highlights how this has been a highly contentious issue for decades, often linked with immigration policy, and is an area that still lacks comprehensive reliable empirical data to inform the debate. It explores and analyses the recent reforms to the NHS Ove…
Health and long-term care benefits and the proposed revised coordination regulation
This article examines the implications of the proposed Revised Coordination Regulation for long-term care benefits. First, it explores what is meant by ‘long-term care’. This sets the debate around access to long-term care in the context of developments regarding the safeguarding of fundamental human rights for those with disabilities and increasing international concern regarding the human rights of older persons. Secondly, it charts the respons…
Health law and policy, devolution and Brexit
The National Health Service (NHS) was a critical symbolic issue in the European Union (EU) referendum. The practical ramifications of Brexit on UK patients, professionals, health research and public health are significant, with particular challenges in the devolved nations/jurisdictions. Whatever the form of Brexit, and future EU–UK relationship(s), these challenges will form a key part of health governance post-Brexit. A multilevel governance ap…

Standards, quality and accountability – the NHS and mental health
The proposals for the reform of the Mental Health Act contained in the Draft Mental Health Bill Consultation Document recommend that the Mental Health Act Commission should be abolished and its functions be dispersed; with many of its existing roles being entrusted to the Commission for Health Improvement and its successor body, the Commission for Health Audit and Inspection. These proposals can be seen in terms of the Government's emphasis upon …

Whistleblowing in the NHS revisited
Whistleblowing in the NHS has rarely been away from the headlines since my earlier article on the subject in this Journal in 1992 (McHale, 1992). Cases such as those of Helen Zeitlin and Grahame Pink have generated considerable publicity and draft guidelines on whistleblowing have been published by the government. In this article I take up the threads of my discussion on whistleblowing and ask what comfort recent developments afford to the NHS em…

The Dilemmas of the HIV Positive Prisoner
The spread of HIV among the prison community is the subject of considerable concern among pressure groups and prison authorities alike. This article examines the approach taken to the care of HIV positive prisoners in England in the light of arguments about prisoners' rights. Four areas are examined in detail; testing for HIV infection; confidentiality of information concerning HIV positive prisoners; the contrast in care facilities provided to t…
Whistleblowing in the nhs
Is a health-care professional ever justified in “blowing the whistle” and making a public statement about what he or she regards as an inadequate provision of care in the National Health Service? This article examines the legal and ethical problems facing the health-care professional who contemplates such a disclosure, will he or she be able to disclose and still keep his or her anonymity, will publication of his or her revelations by the press b…
Harm reduction and the needle exchange scheme some legal problems
The spread of AIDS has led to a proliferation in the number of schemes relating to harm prevention. Needle exchange programmes are among the most controversial of such measures. They aim to provide the drug user with clean needles, syringes and other injecting equipment. Such schemes present some potentially very difficult legal problems not least in the area of client confidentiality. This paper examines the obligation of confidentiality arising…
