This review examines the nature and application of decentralisation as an
organisational model for health care in England. The study reviews the
relevant theoretical literature from a range of disciplines relating to different
public- and private-sector contexts of decentralisation and centralisation. It
examines empirical evidence about decentralisation and centralisation in
public and private organisations and explores the relationship between
decentralisation and different incentive structures, which, in turn affect
organisational performance.
