This book argues that neoliberal changes in health and social care
go beyond resource allocations, priority setting, and
privatisation, and manifest in an invidious erosion of the quality
of our social relationships, including relationships between care
provider and care recipient. Critically examining the concept of
culture and why shifts in what is considered 'acceptable practice'
happen, the book explores the conduct of conduct. It draws together
what we know about neoliberalism's impact on the economy and public
services with research around governmentality and social change.
Looking at breakdowns in the quality of care in the NHS and social
care across a range of settings it holds that macro influences,
such as austerity and marketisation, cannot explain everything and
many of the damaging things that go on in care breakdowns occur in
micro interactions between care provider and care recipient.
Analysing the interactions between the calculations of political
centres, the strength of professional identities, the effectiveness
of oversight and supervision and the biographies of protagonists,
Neil Small problematises the focus on culture, and culture change,
in our response to care failures and examines what a different
approach to care might involve. Exploring the interaction of
politics, economics and social change and their impact on
healthcare and the wider welfare state, this is an important
contribution for students and researchers in health and social
care, sociology, political science and management studies.
