Mutualism and health care presents the first comprehensive account
of a major innovation in hospital funding before the NHS. The
voluntary hospitals, which provided the bulk of Britain's acute
hospital services, diversified their financial base by establishing
hospital contributory schemes. Through these, working people
subscribed small, regular amounts to their local hospitals, in
return for which they were eligible for free hospital care.
Mutualism and health care evaluates the extent to which the schemes
were successful in achieving comprehensive coverage of the
population, funding hospital services, and broadening opportunities
for participation in the governance of health care and for the
expression of consumer views. The book then explores why the option
of funding the post-war NHS through mass contribution was rejected,
and traces the transformation of the surviving schemes into health
cash plans. This is a substantial investigation into the
attractions and limitations of mutualism in health care. It is
highly relevant to debates about organisational innovations in the
delivery of welfare services.
