NEWS FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY UNIT

Allyson Pollock. NHS plc. The privatisation of our health care. London:
Verso September 2004

In this eagerly-awaited book, Professor Allyson Pollock draws together the
many strands of her research and experience, and that of her colleagues in
the Public Health Policy Unit. Using historical detail, financial analysis,
and personal anecdote, she paints the big picture of how the National
Health Service, once offering the population "freedom from fear" "from
cradle to grave", has been delivered, under cover of "diversity", "local
ownership", and "the right to choose" into the hands of private providers.

"This is a shocking story, brilliantly told, by one of the leading thinkers
in the field of public health policy. Here you will learn how Labour
politicians, with their cronies from the private sector, are turning this
magnificent institution into one of the greatest pork barrels of all time.
No one who cares about the health of the nation should ignore NHS plc."
Prof Raymond Tallis, author of Hippocratic Oaths. Medicine and its
Discontents
