About this title

From the Inside Flap

The debate about choice in public services has lacked a serious evidence-based analysis of the effects of choice systems in practice. The Social Market Foundation has now provided this in "Choice: The Evidence". This brings together the research findings from a range of international and domestic studies on the impact of choice of provider schemes, and draws conclusions about their future introduction in the UK.

It focuses on choice in health and education and examines how user choice has been implemented, how well it has functioned, and the benefits and disadvantages it has delivered, in Europe, Scandinavia and the Americas; as well as drawing together some general criteria to identify under what conditions user choice schemes seem to have flourished and produced the most beneficial results.
