Structures of Control in Health Management

Structures of Control in Health Managementdescribes new systems of monitoring, regulation and surveillance applied to doctors and health care workers, arguing that these threaten established power relations by elevating managerial concepts of efficiency above definitions of need and unrestricted access to health care based on need. The book relies upon many different sources of information, including Rob Flynn's own research and case studies of cutback management in the health systems of England and the Netherlands.
