Format:Paperback
This brilliant and well-researched book reveals how the Tory-led coalition's plans to privatise and fragment the NHS had their origins with previous governments, including New Labour. The only difference being that Tony Blair was more adept at concealing New Labour's real intentions. Colin Leys & Stewart Player argue convincingly that Andrew Lansley's radical, pro-market health "reforms"(for which there was no electoral mandate) are unnecessary and that our current NHS is one of the most efficient and cost-effective in the world.
With US-based private companies queueing up to profit from the NHS, this important, eye-opening book should be read by anyone wishing to understand what politicians are really planning for our health service.

Well done to the authors.
This book lays out quite clearly how the NHS in the UK is on the brink of privatisation and how that will lead to higher costs for healthcare and threaten the founding ethos of the NHS.
As a GP I know what a superb system we have in the UK and we must cherish it.
If anyone wants to know what the politicians are up to then read this book. It is clear, concise and very easy to digest.

I am a GP in Tower Hamlets. Sometimes politicians and anonymous Department of Health planners create policies which make it difficult to do my job well. I have been sometimes bewildered: why would they want to do that?? This book sheds quite a lot of light on it all: now the policies begin to make sense, in a perverse, twisted way.
Like another GP who has commented on this book, I also value British general practice highly: it is a treasure. The current 'reforms' threaten to destabilise it all.
