"Essential reading, or even browsing, for clinical directors, and any professional willing to consider that improvement can be made." - British Journal of Health Care Management "Read Regulating Medical Work for additional clarification, for deepening the discussion of regulation, and as a prod to move beyond the cosmetic." - BMJ "An excellent resource from which to draw for analysis, teaching and research." - Social Legal Studies "...a well-rounded, thorough exploration of the complexities of control...the true value of this booklies in its contribution to our understanding ofpublic institutions, of decision-making, discretion and control, to the concept of 'policing', to the radiating effect of law, even to the concept of law itself." - Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law "...essential reading for anyone wanting to know about the reality of medical work in the NHS." - Journal of Nursing Management
