Rezensionen

"This is a powerful challenge to the conventional wisdom about choice and competition as dangers to the NHS. It makes a strong case that patient choice and competition are essential both for improving services now and for creating incentives to use innovation in the future. It should be essential reading for managers and health professionals who want to understand the real choices facing the NHS." Nick Bosanquet, Professor of Health Policy, Imperial College.
