Abstract

This paper examines the evolution of the healthcare debate in Britain since the publication of the author's groundbreaking 1991 paper, ‘How and How Not to Demonopolise Medicine’. While politicians remain cautious about publicly endorsing radical change, socialism's demonstrable failure to deliver results has changed the intellectual climate such that there is growing support for applying free‐market ideas to the sector. The easy availability of information about competing treatments and service providers on the internet will also undermine the rationale for moribund statist systems like the National Health Service.
