| Abstract: | This paper reviews the performance of the National Health Serviceunder the Labour government of Tony Blair. It shows that therehave been some dramatic increases in resources going into theservice, but also that these do not seem to be delivering theimprovements in activities that might have been expected. Thepaper argues that this is partly because of capacity constraints,but also because the mixture of organizational forms introducedby the government has resulted in misdirected and conflictingincentive structures for the key actors. |
