This book addresses a central theme of the recent NHS reforms - the introduction of competition on the supply side of the internal market. The aim of this was to provide the incentive for efficiency and responsiveness through decentralised decision-making. The authors examine hospital and service merger policy and practice in the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. They suggest that the evidence on the impact of mergers in the health care sector remains inconclusive and that the expected benefits from merger often fail to materialise. A cautious approach to merger activity and a clear framework for assessment are essential.

This study focuses on the politics of hospital mergers. In the narratives from London and Reykjavik presented in this book an attempt has been made to identify individuals and the role they played in the evolution of merger issues. This is important in order to illustrate that structures and institutions such as 'bureaucracy', 'the government machinery', 'decision-making systems', 'political institutions' or 'policy subsystems', are made up of people. These people hold positions or have beliefs, views, motivations and interests which in one way or another made them or inspired them to become active in the policy process, and these factors have as many consequences on policy outcomes and as many implications for future change as the policy content itself.
