“…..Devolution in the UK offers a rare opportunity to observe the evolution of four health systems, each starting from a common base. This report by The Nuffield Trust focuses on how the health systems in the UK’s three devolved administrations have evolved, and how their approaches have differed from those in England…”

“…..Values are important for the success of any organisation, including the NHS. They clarify what an organisation stands for, how it will use its resources and how it will make decisions. Both devolution and the increased role of the European Union in health policy pose new challenges to our health care system. What is, and should be, at the ethical and practical core of the health care systems of the UK?

Devolving Policy, Diverging Values? focuses on the values of the NHS in each of the four nations, and those health care systems within Europe. The report contains contributions from leading health policy analysts. It aims to contribute to the debate about how we define the values of our national health service in the face of both devolution in the Uk and the development of the wider European Union. …” press article The Guardian, January 2008
