:Professor Enthoven told The Times: "I find it really rather irksome when I hear the Labour Party saying it abolished the internal market because it did not work, all of which is not true. It was a Thatcherite proposal to create the trust hospitals and the fundholders, which have now become the basis for the primary care trusts. You could say, 'Look, Mr Milburn, what is different?'" "If the Thatcher Government did not go further it was because they were vilified for doing what they did. The attacks were extremely vicious and Labour said they would abolish it, but they have done no such thing.

Introducing the Market to the NHS

Enthoven was a key figure in the introduction of the internal market to the NHS in the UK. This was accomplished under the Conservatives in the 1980s and then built on by New Labour - though they claimed to have abolished the internal market. Enthoven seems first to have come to the UK as part of this work in 1984 when he was a Fellow funded by the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust, London.

Later Enthoven reportedly described New Labour's reforms as 'a logical extension' or his own plans. Enthoven said that instead of the "comparatively timid Thatcher-Enthoven" model, Milburn was describing "a bold wide-open market". He added: "Whether he means it or not, and whether he can or will deliver it, it is a logical extension of the internal market ideas."[2]

Professor Enthoven told The Times: "I find it really rather irksome when I hear the Labour Party saying it abolished the internal market because it did not work, all of which is not true. It was a Thatcherite proposal to create the trust hospitals and the fundholders, which have now become the basis for the primary care trusts. You could say, 'Look, Mr Milburn, what is different?'" "If the Thatcher Government did not go further it was because they were vilified for doing what they did. The attacks were extremely vicious and Labour said they would abolish it, but they have done no such thing. They have built on it."[3]
