The health debate ‐ by Hunter, D.J
Hunter, D.J. The health debate . Bristol : The Policy Press 2008 £12.99 (pbk) xi + 228pp . ISBN 978 1 86134 929 3 Part of a series edited by Michael Hill, this book provides a succinct commentary on health policies pursued by the Blair governments since 1997 up to mid 2008. It does so in the context of wider international trends and selects four main areas for review: organisational responses to funding pressures; the shift towards market-based r…
Professional Governance and Public Control
Governments across the western world face new demands to achieve greater efficiency and responsiveness in public services. The transformations are most radical and challenging in healthcare where both cost effectiveness and patient safety are major issues. Drawing on the National Health Service in the UK and the corporatist system in Germany, this article compares the dynamics of changing governance and public control in the context of different …
Encountering Globalization
The market for professional services is increasingly international but comparisons have not been made between different professions nor on how state policies affect opportunities for mobility. This article considers three professions: engineers, physicians and psychologists and explores the similarities and differences in international labour market demand for occupations. It examines how state policies in four countries, Canada, Finland, France …
Withering the Citizen, Managing the Consumer
This paper considers concepts of citizenship and consumerism in light of complaints about healthcare, which have risen since the early1990s, due to a greater willingness by the healthcare user to complain, and also the reforms in complaint systems. The narrow legal model for dealing with complaints has been replaced by a managerial model based on corporate sector practice that views complaint handling as a way of retaining customers and organisat…
Professional self-regulation in a changing architecture of governance
This chapter compares transformations in professional self-regulation in the UK and Germany through the lens of governance. We introduce an expanded concept of governance that includes national configurations of state–;profession relationships and places selfregulation in the context of other forms of governance. The analysis shows that a general trend towards network governance plays out differently. In the UK, a plural structure of network gove…
Social Policy, Professional Regulation and Health Support Work in the United Kingdom
This paper examines the neglected area of health support work in the United Kingdom in the context of recent social policy and studies of professionalisation. A variety of socio-economic trends have led policy makers to give greater consideration to this section of the healthcare workforce. Professional regulatory issues and recent reviews in the health field have provided the leverage to alter existing healthcare boundaries, as well as to enhanc…

IMPLEMENTING CHANGE IN HEALTH SYSTEMS: MARKET REFORMS IN HEALTH SYSTEMS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, SWEDEN AND THE NETHERLANDS Michael I. Harrison Sage, 2004, 256 pp., £21.99 (pb) ISBN: 0761961763
Medical dominance in a changing world
This paper examines the governance of the medical profession in the U.K. As in many other countries, external and internal pressures have brought a shift in relations between the state and medicine. The context in which doctors practise has undergone radical change. In common with many countries, the U.K. has turned to competitive markets, and state-sponsored regulatory measures to boost performance. As a consequence, state domination of the heal…
Regaining Trust in Medicine
Recently, the system of medical regulation through which doctors are held to account has come under sustained criticism. A series of public inquiries have revealed incompetence, dishonesty, sexual misconduct by individual doctors and, in one case, serial killing, as well as weaknesses in systems that failed to detect deviant behaviour early and then to take action to protect patients. This article looks at the longer-term social and political cha…
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…
Maintaining Professional Identity
This paper reports on the findings of three empirical studies, conducted by the authors, of how doctors respond to complaints about medical care. We found that doctors respond to complaints with a range of negative emotions, and interpreted complaints as a ‘challenge’ to their competence and expertise as professionals, not as issues troubling the complainant or as legitimate grievances. The interview data show that the way in which doctors talked…
Two Sides to Every Story
The paper examines 110 complaints about general practitioners adjudicated by a health authority. This was a 10 percent subset of complaints received. Complainants' letters were analyzed in order to identify the issues complained about, who complained, what they wanted and how they structured their accounts. The most common single cause of complaint was the lack of a home visit but a third involved issues of diagnosis and treatment. Most people co…
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
The article traces the ideological origins of the 1990 NHS and Com munity Care Act, and the growing political emphasis on managrement and the introduction of an internal market. It argues that while both managerial power and responsibilities have increased, the fragmen tation of agencies at the periphery together with a policy vacuum at the centre have created constraints as well as challenges for managers. While some positive outcomes are discer…
