The dilemma of regulation

Abstract

Daily Telegraph (9 July 2020). 2 M. Kilcoyne (deputy director of the Adam Smith Institute), Daily Telegraph (30 April 2020). 3 In 1968 in the UK. Other countries subsequently followed suit (e.g., Switzerland in 1991). 4 Vide the fact that ration cards, a measure introduced during World War II, lasted until 1954 in the UK. 5 Apparently this directive was a result of lobbying by large continental European manufacturers of those sweepers. Testing to determine energy efficiency was to be carried out on the machines when empty. This disadvantaged the manufacturers of cyclonic sweepers (commercialized by Dyson in the UK) because their performance remains roughly the same regardless of how much dust has been collected, whereas the continental type collects dust in filter bags and the efficiency declines as the bags get clogged with the dust. 6 Daniel Slade from the Town and Country Planning Association. 7 Crispin Truman from CPRE, the Countryside Charity (CPRE; formerly the Campaign to Protect Rural England and originally the Council for the Preservation of Rural England, founded in 1926). 8 It may be noted that another original invention of Beer, team syntegrity [11]-a tool for strategic planning-does not seem to have been seriously implemented anywhere.

Reform of the NHS

“…The first challenge is to identify drivers for cost increases. Once the drivers are known, measures to reverse them might be found, which would amount to an exercise in regulation [26]. Before doing so, however, it is essential to examine the ultimate goal or goals, which are set externally to the system being regulated.…”
