Sinopsis

This is not a vanity publication! The author has been a Prime Ministerial Adviser and has held senior national and local appointments, including being a member of the National Care Standards Commission and Chairman of the Patients Association. This new book follows his several successful previously published commentaries on the NHS and public policy, including Who Decides Who Decides? Enabling choice, equity, access, improved performance and patient guaranteed care, published by Radcliffe Medical Press. His work has been widely acclaimed: John Spiers has the gift of presenting complex ideas clearly. This makes this book a challenging offering to current public policy debates. Professor Michael Connolly. Wonderful read. As John Spiers shows in this sprightly, erudite, concise book, when you ask the right questions, you get the right answers. Professor Regina E. Herzlinger, Harvard Business School. The situation of the British NHS is widely seen as critical. Major changes are necessary to ensure that it can keep its promises to the British people. The funding base needs to be broadened, in line with successful systems in Europe, Australia, and the Far East, where outcomes are much better than in the UK. Coming...ready or not ...are the consequences of us all living longer, having to manage chronic conditions over time, expecting and demanding more, and being denied many innovative new drugs (notably, for cancer) which cannot be afforded at present. This radical new book offers some economic solutions based on direct incentives to the individual to care for themselves better, to save and invest in future funding, and to ask government to re-appraise the system urgently. It will be controversial, and will spark lively new debate. It will also be valuable as a text on courses concerned with healthcare, and clinical practise.
