The first hundred days : a first impression of the reorganised health service at the end of the first three months studied from the viewpoint of the administrator at hospital level
The purpose of this study was to try and obtain a first impression of the impact of the National Health Service (Reorganisation) Act 1973, which came into force on 1 April 1974 and to ascertain the extent to which the new administrative pattern had been translated into action and to identify any pattern of problems and improvements that might be emerging after the first three months of the new service.
