Doyle examines the role of local and national politics on hospitals. In the years before the formation of the Welfare State, access to hospital care was limited by economic and social factors which varied from place to place. Ultimately, Doyle argues that social and economic diversity created a number of models for future health care which rested on a combination of voluntary and municipal provision.
"'offers a provocative, meticulously researched and thoughtfully written account of regional hospital development in the pre-NHS period.'"
