Description

In recent years the pace of reform in health policy and the NHS has been relentless. But how are policies formed and implemented? This fully updated edition of a bestselling textbook explores the processes and institutions that make health policy. It reflects policies under the later years of New Labour and the Coalition government, including the impact of devolution, and includes new case studies to illustrate how policy has evolved and developed.
