Britain's National Health Service revisited.
The New England journal of medicine, 2004Co-Authors: Rudolf KleinAbstract:This Health Policy Report reviews recent policy changes in Britain's National Health Service (NHS). The government plans to increase spending on Health to 8 percent of the gross domestic product, which is the average level of spending across the European Union. The report discusses the implications of new initiatives to decentralize management of the NHS, improve the quality of Health care, reduce patients' waiting times, and make the NHS more consumer-oriented.

Enterprise Association or Civil Association? The UK National Health Service
The Journal of medicine and philosophy, 1995Co-Authors: Andrew Robert EdgarAbstract:This paper falls into three parts. In the first part I will briefly review the current process of reform that the United Kingdom National Health Service is undergoing. Two fundamental motivations for reform, the desire for increased efficiency and for an increased responsiveness to patients' needs and preferences will be discussed in greater detail. The second part attempts to provide a perspective on the moral debate concerning Health care reform by introducing the distinction between 'civil association' and 'enterprise association' as proposed by the political philosopher Michael Oakeshott. In the final part, this distinction will be used to analyze the moral and political constitution of the National Health Service, in order to establish the relevance and scope of concerns with efficiency and patient and public accountability. A framework within which the current reforms can be assessed is thereby outlined.

Performance in the National Health Service
Public Performance & Management Review, 2016Co-Authors: Ian GreenerAbstract:This article critically considers the evolution of performance indicators and performance measures in the U.K. National Health Service. After examining the development of performance indicators and contemporary scholarship on the subject, the author finds the performance measurement and reporting regime implemented by the New Labour government to be poorly conceived and in danger of causing distortions in the patterns of Health care provision. It appears ill defined and, as a consequence, poorly executed. The author considers cases where the performance regime appears to be unable to measure the activity of Health Services, a project in community rehabilitation, and a public Health provision in the southwest. Finally, the author makes some suggestions for the basis of an alternative performance measurement regime.

Institutional commitment and aging among allied Health care professionals in the British National Health Service
2020Co-Authors: Deborah Roy, Andrew Weyman, Reka Plugor, Peter NolanAbstract:Because of a perceived decline in staff morale, the UK National Health Service has begun to routinely assess the extent to which commitment to the National Health Service may aid staff retention. While a number of studies have investigated the role of employee commitment in relation to staff turnover, no research to date has empirically tested if staff commitment to the NHS could protect job satisfaction from the effects of high job demands, and if this varies according to age. Using latent variable path analysis, this novel study examined this question among a National sample of Healthcare Professionals Allied to Medicine in the National Health Service. The results indicate that the negative effects of high job demands on job satisfaction were fully mediated by commitment to the National Health Service, but age mattered. Among the over 45s and over 55s, commitment to the National Health Service acted as an effective buffer against the negative effects of job demands on job satisfaction, but this effect was not as strong among the 35–44 age group. The broader policy implications of these findings are that age sensitive policies to support NHS workforce retention are needed. Also, pro-social institutions who employ Healthcare Professionals Allied to Medicine should develop policies for inspiring commitment to that institution, as it could help them with the demands of the job, and may even encourage more skilled workers to work longer
