    The wrong medicine A review of the impacts of NHS reforms in England New Economics Foundation (NEF) is an independent think-and-do tank that inspires and demonstrates real economic well-being. We aim to improve quality of life by promoting innovative solutions that challenge mainstream thinking on economic, environmental and social issues. We work in partnership and put people and the planet first. Contents Summary 2 Introduction 4 The ground prepared: changes prior to 2012 7 Changes since 2010 13 Where is the evidence? 24 Lessons from UK experience 27 Costs of market reforms 41 Who will bear the brunt of the changes? 44 Conclusion 45 End notes 47 2 DiversityThe wrong and medicine Integration Summary The NHS is rated more highly than any other comparable healthcare system in the world. But it is often thought to be beset by crises and in danger of falling into decline. Market-based reforms have been presented as “solutions” to a continuing “problem” of an under-performing public institution. Does the evidence support these changes? Market-based reforms began in the 1980s, when support services were first contracted out, and continued in the 1990s, with the creation of an internal market for clinical services. In the 2000s, patients were allowed to choose where they received some treatments; prices were attached to units of completed healthcare; the first privately owned centres were established to take on NHS business; some hospitals became independent foundation trusts; and private companies built most new hospitals, recovering their investment by renting them back to the NHS for 30 years or more.
