The recent changes in the British National Health Service were intended to make this previously popular public service more responsive to its users and at the same time less bureaucratic and more businesslike. This improved accountability would, it was assumed by the Conservative government, be a consequence of a greater market orientation brought about by the separation of those who purchase from those who provide health services. This article assesses how far these aims have been achieved and explores options for improving accountability and the public’s involvement in the dilemmas facing the NHS
