When Nigel Lawson said in 1992 "the NHS is the closest thing the English people have to a religion" he was correct. The government at that time, and subsequent governments, wished to bring about fundamental changes to the NHS. But one thing above all stood in their way. The doctors.

Through a combination of stealth, carrot-and-stick combined with the startlingly mediocre leadership of the medical profession governments were eventually able to have their way. This book tells you how it happened.
