It explores the history of Scottish autonomy in health policy through the examination of the activities and personnel of the Scottish Board of Health and Department of Health for Scotland. The author examines the political, economic and social context of health provision in Scotland, and considers the autonomy of Scottish health agencies in relation to central government pressures. Scotland's health patterns are examined through case studies of the health of mothers and babies, and of school-children. Further case studies on tuberculosis and National Health Insurance focus on the health of the adult population. This study also explores wartime health policy and practice and discusses the advent of the National Health Service in Scotland. Scottish administrative autonomy is a subject of current and historical debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Webster,Jacqueline Jenkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3906768341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783906768342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Ltd, International Academic Publis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Charles Webster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450149286143,"sku":"9783906768342","price":136.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a539ca31-6f27-4bfd-b8b3-a430b20d7432.jpg?v=1777266422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scotlands-health-1919-1948-charles-webster-9783906768342","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
