Summary:

Drawing substantially on original research, "Planning, Markets and Hospitals" represents a systematic attempt to access the strengths and weaknesses of different forms of planning and coordination of hospital development. Throughout, attention is given to key themes of regulation and governance, of the appropriate balance between planning and markets, and the question of the ways governments have sought to regulate and extend access to health care. It reinterprets previous histories of UK hospital policy and questions whether current policies will reconcile competing goals of equity and choice.
