A health care policy community, in which the interests of the medical profession were prominent, existed between 1948 and the mid-1980s. The paper highlights the important factors in the breakdown of the policy community and traces the effect through to the negotiation, implementation and abolition of the GP fundholding scheme. In particular, the role of evidence in health care policy-making has changed significantly. A consequence of the collapse of the policy community has been that a `fold psychology' rather than evaluative evidence has guided some aspects of health care policy since the 1990s. - Reproduced Health services - Great Britain Health services Public Administration 50404 50404 50404 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 19, Issue no: 3 AR50832 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
