This chapter emphasises how the Welsh Assembly lacks both tax-varying and primary legislative powers. It is argued that this ‘social policy body’ has the ability for policy innovation and divergence. The chapter shows that certain events in Scotland and Wales during the first terms of the devolved administrations support the claim that as the devolution process evolves, it becomes necessary to speak of the national health services of the UK instead of its NHS. ‘West Lothian’ questions and the ‘Barnett formula’ are discussed in the chapter as well.
