Benjamin's Sale of Goods (Hardback)

This is the first text to combine developments in the management of Scottish local government and the NHS in Scotland. An ideal source of information for practitioners and students alike, it deals with essential background information, considers a range of current issues in more depth and looks at the future structural changes and their implications. The author considers the ways in which local government and the NHS have responded to the New Public Management agenda in the post-devolution period by focusing on key areas of managerial activity. This book provides an excellent analysis of new public management practice and should be required reading for all those with an interest in Scottish public administration.
