Abstract

This independent audit was commissioned by the Sunday Times and is published with their kind permission.
The Labour Party came to power in 1997 promising to 'save' the NHS. Since then, it has found unprecedented increases in funding for the health service, but Prime Minister Tony Blair has emphasised that the extra money must be linked to a 'step-change' in reform. This reform has taken four main forms: clear targets and standards set nationally; regulatory inspection and assessment; central support of professionally led collaboratives; and, more recently, the introduction of market-style incentives. The question we ask in this report is whether it has all worked. Has Labour delivered on its targets and has it achieved the step-change it wanted? [Summary]
