Abstract
This paper applies Jessop's analysis of the new political economy of welfare to the case of the NHS, exploring the insights into the changes in health policy in the UK that such a perspective offers. Alongside Jessop's analysis, the paper also considers the competing tension of path dependency in health policy, and the possibility of alternative futures to those envisaged in Jessop's model.
