2. What follows mostly concerns reforms to the English NHS. Changes have been introduced in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland that are rather different in some ways; space does not permit consideration of them here. Useful descriptions of some of the changes can be found in S. Iliffe and J. Munro, "New Labour and Britain's National Health Service: An Overview of Current Reforms," International Journal of Health Services 30, no. 2 (2000): 309-334. For an earlier but insightful commentary, see R. Klein, "Why Britain Is Reorganizing Its National Health Service - Yet Again," Health Affairs (July/Aug 1998): 111-125.
