Document Summary
Western states examined their own systems of governance, and program reforms were built around values of accountability, transparency, the dissemination of power, and democratic participation. All provincial health care systems experienced some kind of reform and reorganization throughout the 1990s, and most were influenced by these ideas to a greater or lesser extent. The most significant input of the labour party in britain after ww2 was the development of the beveridge report of 1942, a document that outlined a series of social programs that would support britons "from cradle to grave. " The end of the 1960s implemented most of these social welfare reforms, including public health care. But the sheer size and complexity of such programs meant an expanding bureaucracy; and the best way of administering such a large organization was seen to be through a highly centralized and tightly controlled system.
