This book provides a theoretically informed analysis of key recent policy changes in England and how the interplay of powerful structural interests has influenced policy in health. It includes chapters on recent reforms in the NHS and the drift towards privatisation, policies aimed at enhancing public and patient involvement, the regulation of the drug industry, medicalisation and mental health policy, the role and effect of the media and recent changes in social and environmental health policy. The analysis examines the influence of the State, professional medicine, the media, commercial interests such as those of the pharmaceutical, food and fossil fuel industries, patient's groups and the wider global environment. While the key focus of the book is on England, the analysis drawn on by the author comes from a plethora of policy examples in health systems in high and low to middle income countries across the world. This widened context shines a light on the influence of globalisation and highlights both the distinctive character of health policy in England, as well as the common themes it shares in a world-wide context. 606 $aMedical policy$zEngland. 606 $aMedical laws and legislation$zEngland 606 $aMedical$xHealth Policy$2bisacsh 606 $aMedical & healthcare law$2bicssc 607 $aWales 607 $aEngland 607 $aWales 607 $aPays de Galles 607 $aEngland$2fast 607 $aWales$2fast 615 0$aMedical policy 615 0$aMedical laws and legislation 615 7$aMedical$xHealth Policy. 615 7$aMedical & healthcare law. 676 $a362.1 700 $aCalnan$b Michael$0847659 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794165303321 996 $aHealth policy, power and politics$93798015 997 $aUNINA
