About the Book

Across the world, the appropriate role of government in the planning and delivery of public services has been the subject of intense debate: How should the state control the provision of public services and how far should markets be allowed to determine the provision of those services? One answer to these questions is 'regulation' - ie, the creation of mechanisms that allow governments to influence the behaviour of autonomous service providers. This report compares the regulatory framework in four health systems: the Autonomous Community of Catalonia in Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and New Zealand. This comparison is used to reflect on the future regulation of the NHS in England.

Table of Contents:
1: Introduction. 2: What is meant by regulation? 3: The regulatory challenges of NHS reform in England. 4: Regulation in four health systems. 5: Implications for regulating the English NHS. 6: Conclusions

About the Author :
Richard Lewis is a Senior Fellow at the King's Fund. He carries out policy analysis and research, with a special interest in commissioning, foundation trusts, primary care and the potential role of social enterprises in health care. He has evaluated the current government's performance on the NHS and led an independent 'audit' into the NHS. He is currently on secondment to the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit within the Cabinet Office. He joined the NHS through the national graduate management scheme and has worked at all levels in the NHS, most recently spending several years as an executive director of a large health authority in London. Arturo Alvarez-Rosete is a Health Policy Researcher at the King's Fund. He specialises in public policy and public administration, with particular interest in the structures of government and governance and the policy process in the NHS. He is currently working on developing best practice models for health policy making and on a systematic review of the post-1997 literature on central government policy process in UK health care. His recent work includes a chapter on citizens' attitudes towards the NHS for the 2005 British Social Attitudes survey and a British Medical Journal article on the effects of devolution and diverging policy across the NHS. Nicholas Mays is Professor of Health Policy at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He previously worked in the NHS; at the University of Leicester, St Thomas' Hospital Medical School and the Queen's University of Belfast; as Director of Health Services Research at the King's Fund; and as a policy adviser with the New Zealand Treasury. Current projects include: leading a Department of Health-funded programme of evaluation of the latest major reforms of the English NHS; developing an 'on-call' facility for international health care comparisons to support policy development work in the English Department of Health; a book reviewing how health systems have responded to the many challenges thrown up by the HIV pandemic.
