The very idea of 'public service' came under fierce attack in the
Thatcherite 1980s. This book takes the two key services,
broadcasting and the NHS, and traces the heated debates and
political pressures which radically transformed them both. It
points to the parallels between them, and describes issues of
health, sickness and the provision of medical care as they were
reflected in the radio and television output. Across a wide range
of programming, from popular drama to investigative journalism, the
book captures the mood of the decade as it traces the politics of
the NHS, from the Winter of Discontent to the Aids crisis; and the
politics of broadcasting, from the coming of Channel Four to the
increasing government attacks on the BBC. Concluding in 1990 with
two pivotal Acts of Parliament, "Broadcasting and the NHS in the
Thatcherite 1980s" traces the roots of the present crisis in the
public services.
