ABSTRACT

For we see around us the revolution in eye care, which the author analyses in his chapter 'With eyes to see: one people, one market, one service' and it offers an optimal social and business model for change patients in the UK, including removing the immoral two-tier system of private care alongside public care in which doctors drift in and out of the public sector on a daily basis. We know that the everyday democracy of the market has changed all the authors's lives for the better, and in every class, since the end of the Second World War. The transformations we need emphasise that it is necessary to have management styles and structures which bring the best from everyone. In addressing these questions and in coming to a resolution of them in a democracy, the most difficult part is changing the authors's thinking both about how we can each live the authors's own life, and about political structures.
