NHS The Road to Recovery

Hugh Elwell - Public Services

The National Health Service is sick, but not so sick that it cannot be put on the road to recovery. Injecting more taxpayers’ money into the enterprise will not help. Spending must be made more effective, and accountability must be improved.

Work of the Study Groups
