摘要：

This paper analyses the decision-making process of health authorities under New Labour in the NHS through a study of their qualitative responses to questionnaires. We find a considerable frustration and cynicism with the government's plans-for reform, with its interference at the local level with services, and an acknowledgement of the differences between health authorities' practice and what they believe the government requires, with, often, only minimal effort being made attempting to achieve new governmental performance targets. We conclude by making suggestions for an alternative strategy less likely to antagonize local health-service providers.
