This political history studies the phenomenal growth of the modern British state’s interest in collecting, collating and deploying population data. It dates this biopolitical data turn in British politics to the arrival of the Labour government in 1964. It analyses government’s increased desire to know the population, the impact this has had on British political culture and the institutions and systems introduced or modified to achieve this. It probes the political struggles around these initiatives to show that despite setbacks along the way and regardless of party, all British governments since the mid-1960s have accepted that data is the key to modern politics and have pursued it relentlessly.
The nhs is caught in a 'gridlock' of forces that make change ex- ceedingly difficult to bring about. Public policy should seek to cre- ate an environment for the nhs that is hospitable to quality- impro- ving and efficiency-improving change. Opportunities for constructive change should be nurtured, not politicized or otherwise abused. The nhs runs on the ability and dedication of the many people who work in it. But its structure contains no serious incentives to guide the nhs in the direction of better quality care and service at reduced cost. In fact, the strucutre of the nhs contains perverse incentives. The nhs could benefit from making much greater use of demonstration pro- jects.
The second edition of this bestselling book provides a multi-professional introduction to the key concepts in public health and epidemiology.
