Suicide in Victorian and Edwardian England

چکیده
that organization of medical services was, by itself insufficient to meet this problem. The food policy ofthe British government during the Second World War, as well as being economically and politically necessary, was also seen as a health policy based on the principles ofneed, access, and income, not on "hierarchical regionalism". Many of the medical investigations launched by the Medical Research Council and other medical organizations between the wars were based on studying the relationship that Fox claims had disappeared as a significant part of the medical psyche. Though Fox modifies his argument slightly in respect ofthe late 1930s, in fact it leads him into making some surprising statements such as "Because ofthis consensus, British debate about health policy in the 1930s was usually a struggle for territory rather than about priorities." (p. 56). A glance at the health debates in Hansard during this period would disabuse anyone ofthis view. The principle of hierarchical regionalism may have been unduly neglected. It certainly is the case that one principle, "hierarchy", as defined by Fox, deserves closer historical attention. One of the best parts of his book is Fox's discussion of the emergence of market forces in American medicine in the 1950s with its accompanying fads and fashions. Nonetheless, it will not replace the significance ofaccessand equality in the story ofhealth care in both countries. Even from the point ofview ofconsumers ofhealth careifnot from the dispensers or administrators -when, where, who, for how long, and at what price remain the most important questions in the encounter between the population and the medical profession.
