Health and the National Health Service

Health and the National Health Service

The NHS came into existence in an atmosphere of conflict centred on the strong ideological commitment of the Post-war Labour Government and the opposition of the Conservative Party of that time to the idea of a universally available and centrally planned medical care service. There was also opposition from some sections of the medical establishment who feared the loss of professional autonomy. Setting health policy in both an historical and modern context (post 1997) Carrier and Kendall weigh up the successes and failures of the National Health Service and examine the conflicts which have continued for over sixty years in spite of efforts to solve financial problems in the NHS through increases in funding as well as structural and organisational change. After looking at recent responses to supposed failures of the NHS they conclude that the NHS has successfully faced the challenges before it and is likely to continue to meet the changing health needs of the population. Financial stresses concerns about the quality of care and demographic change with consequent issues for the elderly and the chronically ill continue to be urgent and politically contentious issues. This book is appropriate for a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate students studying health policy and the NHS. | Health and the National Health Service

Interpretation of Contracts

Interpretation of Contracts

This book is a second edition of Interpretation of Contracts (2007). The original work examined various issues surrounding the question of how contracts should be interpreted by courts in particular focusing on the law of contract interpretation following Lord Hoffmann’s exposition of the principles of contextual interpretation in Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society [1998] 1 WLR 896. As with the original this new edition provides an overview of the subject concentrating on elements of controversy and disagreement rather than a detailed analysis of all the contract law rules and doctrines that might be regarded as interpretative in one sense or another. The book will be concerned with interpretation of contracts generally (following the rule that there are not different rules of interpretation for different kinds of contracts) but with reference to commercial contracts in particular since this is the area in which the contextual interpretative approach was developed and where it has most relevance. The overall aim of the second edition remains the same as the first – to produce an accessible and readable guide to contract interpretation for law students scholars and practitioners.

Shareholder Participation and the Corporation A Fresh Inter-Disciplinary Approach in Happiness

Shareholder Participation and the Corporation A Fresh Inter-Disciplinary Approach in Happiness

This study provides a fascinating fresh analysis of the virtues of shareholder participation in the context of contemporary corporate governance. By applying recent empirical studies to human happiness McConvill convincingly argues that shareholders particularly individuals should be included in the internal governance framework of public corporations and enjoy a direct participatory role in the corporation if they so choose. Recent studies have consistently shown that active participation is one of a limited number of factors that has a positive correlation with levels of personal happiness however while disciplines within the social sciences have long considered the implications of these findings legal scholars have failed to grasp their significance. Shareholder Participation and the Corporation addresses the dearth of literature currently available by exploring and evaluating the implications of empirical happiness studies in relation to corporate law and governance focusing specifically on the role of the shareholder. It provides a compelling argument for those seeking to analyze shareholder participation in a different light. | Shareholder Participation and the Corporation A Fresh Inter-Disciplinary Approach in Happiness
