The Political Economy of Health Care

According to Prof Feachem, KP provides a higher quality service than the NHS at a much lower cost. Surprisingly, he has as one co-author, Prof Kerr White, formerly a lifelong advocate for a national health service covering the whole US population. KP is not representative of the whole US care system. It is nominally not for profit. Profits are listed in its balance sheets, but they are apparently mostly shared by its medical staff and administrators. It is generally recognised as the most enlightened large unit so far developed in the US. However, even as a comparison not between two national systems, but between the NHS as a national system and KP as a single large corporate unit, like was not compared with like, and many other aspects of this study make its conclusions extremely doubtful. Its methodology falls far short of the standards normally required for research papers in peer-reviewed journals. The political economy of health care -Second editionAccording to Wikipedia, Serco was founded in 1929 as the UK branch of the Radio Corporation of America. It now provides management services at NHS hospitals for Norfolk and Norwich, Leicester Royal Infirmary and Wishaw Hospital Trusts, manages and operates Bradford, Stoke-on-Trent and Walsall Local Education Authorities, operates the UK National Physical Laboratory, four prisons, two immigration removal centres, electronic tagging systems, the Docklands Light Railway, the Ballistic Missiles Early Warning system at RAF Fylingdales, RAF bases at Brize Norton, Halton, Northolt and Ascension Island, is one of three companies operating the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston, and shares with another company operation of Royal Navy bases at Portsmouth, Devonport and the Clyde, and many other formerly public service ventures in the UK, as well as many others in Canada, Australia and elsewhere in the EU and Middle East. All these operations, including those for the NHS, and all the contracts setting their terms and conditions, are covered by commercial secrecy and are virtually immune from public scrutiny. This seems to typify the relation between business and elected government now tacitly or overtly endorsed by all main UK political parties.The political economy of health care -Second edition 22 Speaking of Margaret Thatcher's government soon after his retirement, former Chief Scientist at her Department of Health Dr Peter Woodford said: '... what I deprecate above all is this government's apparent belief that the only incentive for anyone to work hard and well is money and material greed',

Handbook of Clinical Psychology Competencies

Abstract:In this chapter, we describe the assessment and treatment of enuresis and encopresis. We first review literature on the symptoms, causes, and evidence-based treatments of each condition separately. We also incorporate a discussion of the mechanisms of change underlying effective intervention. Then, using Ryle's (1949) distinction between "knowing how" and "knowing that" as a framework, we discuss the basic competencies one should possess to address these clinical issues. A major reason for distinguishing between the "knowing how" and "knowing that" skill sets is that some clinicians teach and others practice. Based on this framework, we argue that demonstration of basic competency entails the clinician having the skills to conduct effective assessment and treatment of enuresis and/or encopresis, or the skills necessary to tell others (e.g., supervisees) how to do so. These skills include a thorough knowledge of the physiology of urination and defecation, potential pathophysiology of elimination disorders, the ability to effectively interface with medical providers regarding their treatment, and a strong working knowledge of evidence based treatments and their mechanisms of change. In our discussion of expert competency, we use no such distinction between "knowing how" and "knowing that", as an expert should be skilled in both. Further, expert competency in enuresis and encopresis entails the verbal and performance knowledge base to make scholarly contributions to the field, either by conducting one's own research or serving as a consultant to other research programs. Thus, an expert in this area is well poised to contribute to the field of elimination disorders as a master clinician, a specialty supervisor, and/or as a contributing researcher. OverviewChild clinical and pediatric psychologists confront a diverse set of problems that challenge children and their families. Often overlooked, but critically important, is the ability to successfully evaluate and intervene the challenges that may, at first glance, seem either medically based or within the realm of "typical" child behavioral problems. Among the most common, persistent, and stressful presenting complaints in primary medical care for children are two disorders involving developmentally inappropriate elimination of waste -enuresis (urine) and encopresis (feces). Evidence of their commonality and persistence is found in prevalence and age-range estimates. Prevalence estimates range as high 2% of 5-year-old children for encopresis and 25% of 6-year-old children for enuresis and, although both are much less prevalent by the teenage years, they are not rare. For example, as many as 8% of boys and 4% of girls are still enuretic at the age
