介绍英国中央政府如何通过立法和改革影响国家卫生服务（NHS）的金融结构，以1989年白皮书和1991年改革为例，适合关注卫生政策与公共财政的读者。
In the UK, the government of the day has the power to change its policy by introducing new legislation in Parliament. In 1989 the government heralded the largest single set of reforms in the National Health Service (NHS) since 1948 by the publication of two White Papers in 1989: Working for Patients (DoH) and Caring for People (Secretaries of State for Health, Social Security) and a new structure was introduced, operating from 1 April 1991. The structure is headed by the Secretary of State for Health, who is answerable to Parliament, and has a place in the Cabinet.
