"Focusing primarily on devolution in the NHS, the report considers the potential implications for health and care outcomes in England and how policy could best evolve. It draws on analysis of the Devolution Deals agreed to date, relevant literature, and international experience with a focus on four European decentralised health systems."

The four UK health systems: learning from each other

"This paper does not present data, and it makes no attempt to conclude whether one system is performing better than another. What it does try to do is document some of the key policy areas where divergence has occurred, to highlight at least some areas where, consciously or not, policy transfer has in fact taken place across borders, and then to suggest at least some subjects where future research could provide valuable lessons."
