Public Health Meets Law: Are There Sufficient Legal Safeguards to Ensure Access to Public Health Care for All?

摘要

The President: Good evening everybody. It gives me enormous pleasure to welcome Professor Pollock this evening to lecture to us. I imagine most people in this room are thoroughly familiar with her writings and her valued polemics on behalf of the NHS and I sometimes think she is the only person who seems to understand what is happening to the health service and to be capable of articulating what we all feel and, as it were, to unzip the disasters that are being brought upon us by PFI, which is in my view damaging our great British institution. Her most prominent work is NHS pic, which I think is one of the most brilliant political polemics published within the last 15 years, and she has with her one or two copies which she will be signing afterwards. Professor Pollock. (Applause.)
