This book offers a comprehensive picture of the health policy challenges facing contemporary developed world health systems, as well as the strategies for tackling these. It is suitable for students of health policy and health care. This is an excellent and accessible introduction to key current debates in health policy. It is enriched by deft comparative analysis and by the way Dr Gauld locates the study in the context of current ideological debates.
