Abstract
This paper reviews accounting technologies used over recent decades in the National Health Service: a public service (good) and the accounting for public interest (good) therein. The trends in NHS accounting are considered in the context of the defining characteristics of a modern public service. The accounting technologies, collectively known as New Public Financial Management (NPFM), are integral to wider public service reform. The overview of accounting technologies in context attempts to draw out some of the deficiencies or apparent mismatches in accounting technologies and public service reform.
