Overview: If the rhetoric of policy is to be believed, patient power will soon dominate the politics of health. According to The NHS plan, the present guide to the future of the Health Service, patients will have a greater say in their treatment, more information, wider choice, and efficient means for redress whilst professionals will be more responsive to patients' views and managers more diligently facilitating of the patient interest. Skeptics might argue that we have been here before. The interesting question is at what point, if at all, it moves beyond the rhetorical to impact on the reality of power in the Health Service.
