Examines the impact of research-based organizational development (OD) interventions through the study of such interventions applied to an executive unit of the British Civil Service’s HM Customs and Excise department. 

The lack of accountability and scrutiny in the NHS could be addressed by inviting panels of councillors to oversee local health services, says a new report.
Another option is to boost the role of the community health councils, according the study, supported by the Institute of Health Services Management, the NHS confederation and the quality and consumer branch of the NHS Executive.

In measures similar to those which allow Government intervention in failing schools, Frank Dobson has announced the creation of a Director of Health Improvement to head a new Commission for Health Improvement.
