The University of Liverpool are holding a witness seminar in London on the 1974 reorganisation of the NHS: the first major shake-up since its foundation in 1948, and the first to use external management consultancy through McKinsey & Co. The event brings together representatives of the medical profession, civil service, government and the private sector, to discuss how the reorganisation was planned, implemented and its impact. As the NHS faces uncertain times, what lessons can we learn from this first attempt at improving efficiency and effectiveness?

Participants to include:
Dr Eric Caines Sir Cyril Chantler Professor Brian Edwards Professor Walter Holland James Lee
Dr John Marks Dr Robert Maxwell Bob Nicholls Lord David Owen Nick Timmins
Dr Geoffrey Rivett Professor Sally Sheard Christopher Stewart-Smith Professor Henry Strage
Lord Norman Warner
