Auteur :
MOHAN, J.

Description :
The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the pattern of hospital utilization prior the establishment of the NHS, showing the extent to which the probability of obtaining hospital treatment was a function of residence. Access to hospital care depended on the vigour of voluntarism and the political priorities of local governments. This work contributes to debates about the efficacy of non-profit forms of welfare delivery.
