Tomlinson: a social policy perspective (Part 2).

This article is the second of two which explore the Tomlinson Report and its implications from a social policy perspective using a "policy as process" model. In this article, the main points of the report and the government's response to it will be analysed with reference to areas of particular interest to nurses and nursing, that is, primary and community health services, the acute sector, nurse education, and research. The impact on nursing and health policy, both in London and the United Kingdom, will also be discussed.
