Britain Plans to Decentralize National Health Care – NYTimes.com.
Some of the control of the UK health system will be moved to the primary care physicians, who will apparently answer to “independent” regulators outside of the central government.
This is one more in a long line of restructurings designed to fix the problems of government run health care and its inherent inefficiencies.
What really needs to happen is more decentralization of the FUNDING and real privatization.
The UK is desperate for cost controls, and the new plan purports to put thousands of health care adminstrators out of jobs.
