Abstract:
The myth of market testing is that it leads to low prices and correspondingly low quality services. If so, why have trust managers extended the initiative from the three services that are compulsory to market test, to well over 80 services? Could it be that it offers a practical and proven way to determine the best way of meeting service needs? Is it a process clinicians should fear, or is it one where clinicians have a useful and positive role to play?
