CERGAS Seminar " Reforming health care: public service and private income?"

Most health systems continue to be constrained financially (due to the impact of rising health needs/demands, the 2008 global financial crisis, and covid-19 pandemic). One solution has been to reform public health care organisations by allowing them to earn more income from private sources. This commercialisation of public health care might include clinical services to `private’ patients, clinical trials, alternative use of facilities such as retail outlets.

This presentation will examine the experience of the National Health Service (NHS) in England (following reforms in 2013) by exploring the impact on the local organisations’ strategies and finances. It will also consider the impact on staff who have been implementing this reform.
