where the public sets the agenda The third film on health and the National Health Service looks at decision-making, and asks On Whose Authority?
Peter Pan fights for life! -as the people of North Kensington oppose plans to close the much-loved children's ward at their local hospital. Unhappily cast as Captain Hook and his cut-throat crew are the doctors and nurses and administrators of the Paddington and North Kensington Health Authority. They want to improve children's services in the district by centralising them at a brand-new unit being built in Paddington. The professional and lay members of the health authority have to find a solution which marries medical excellence and the community's wishes-and all within a reduced budget.
Made with the co-operation of members. staff and patients of the Paddington and North Kensington Health Authority. Producer PETER LEE-WRIGHT
