The British Healthcare Labor Market

Paper Summary:

The writer of this paper explores in-depth Britain's NHS which was initially instituted to provide affordable healthcare to those in need however with the development of the commercialization of British society the NHS is slowly moving into the hands of private enterprises. This paper discusses the current situation in the UK regarding doctors and nurses as being quite serious and the government's attempts to reduce the financial liability of the NHS have only worsened the situation.

From the Paper:

"The planning of healthcare has however never been an area of great expertise for the doctors, and this probably makes them more easily amenable to accepting the decisions of others than making decisions on their own ability. This question has been studied by the Herald in Glasgow. There the health minister of Scotland had mentioned that the reduction in the numbers of beds at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh was decided by the clinicians when private finance came in. It was said that the number of beds were decided by them. Then the same question was put to the clinicians and they said that they were told about the maximum permitted costs and the number of beds that could be made available with that cost. Then the clinicians decided on the allocation of the beds between the different specialties."
