Abstract:
This essay reviews research and poses questions for thought or discussion about the changing character of health care services and the impact of ageing, welfare, rising demand and related trends. It then asks what it would take to make the present medical service into a real health service and to empower patients and citizens. A third section worries about recruitment, retention and the morale of health care staff, and a final section considers the options for funding health care in the next 25 years.
