Abstract
- Discusses a decision by the United Kingdom's Competition Commission that could make all contracting out and commissioning of health care by N.H.S. and social services subject to European Union competition law, rather than a matter for national public health policy. Tensions between the European Union's economic constitution and national control over healthcare policy because of healthcare reforms; Judgment by the United Kingdom tribunal that shows how the courts are moving the dividing line between economic and social activities; Implications of the judgment.
