Drawing on clinical experience dating from the birth of the NHS in
1948, Julian Tudor Hart, a politically active GP in a Welsh coal
mining community, charts the progress of the NHS from its 19th
century origins in workers' mutual aid societies, to its current
forced return to the market. His starting point is a detailed
analysis of how clinical decisions are made. He explores the
changing social relationships in the NHS as a gift economy, how
these may be affected by reducing care to commodity status, and the
new directions they might take if the NHS resumed progress
independently from the market. This new edition of this bestselling
book has been entirely rewritten with two new chapters, and
includes new material on resistance to that world-wide process. The
essential principle in the book is that patients need to develop as
active citizens and co-producers of health gain in a humanising
society and the author's aim is to promote it wherever people
recognise that pursuit of profit may be a brake on rational
progress.
