About this title

Synopsis

The NHS Plan is the 10-year blueprint for investment and NHS, the public, the staff who deliver the services and the managers who plan the future. No part of the NHS is immune from the impact of the plan. This tool kit is a comprehensive guide to the Plan. It assesses its impact and consequences, and discusses the practicalities of implementation and the challenges and opportunities it offers. Key areas in the Plan are analysed including cancer, coronary heart disease, mental health services, waiting lists and revalidation.

Review

"Gives a valuable theoretical insight into the future possibilities for welfare policy based on greater participant interaction." Dr. Ceri Brown, NHS Modernisation Agency, Leicester "The authors write with engaging clarity and precision, inviting us to look afresh at the intricate politics of EU/UK relations and leading us to a rich and timely understanding of their complex nature." Suzy Braye, Professor of Social Work and Social Care, University of Sussex "Complexity, a buzz word across the whole of science in the early twenty-first century, is now emerging as central theme of social science. Robert Geyer is a key practitioner in the introduction and development of complexity ideas and in this book he makes an important contribution to moving debate forward by taking the framework and showing how it can help use to understand an important contemporary political process. The book should appeal to both those with a general interest in complexity and those who will come to the ideas for the first time through a concern with the politics of contemporary Europe". David Byrne, Professor, School of Applied Social Sciences, University of Durham"
