Abstract

Investigates the provision, dissemination and use of community information in public libraries in five different social areas by means of interviews with community librarians and library users. Reveals that information from the Department of Social Security was the most heavily used. followed by bus timetables. People in the more affluent areas tended to make more use of community information than those in the poorer areas. The information could perhaps be more effectively promoted and more outside groups could be encouraged to use the libraries.

Abstract

Purpose

The authors' aim was to investigate mechanisms and perceptions of control following the implementation of a new “pay‐for‐performance” contract (the new General Medical Services, or GMS, contract) in general practice.

Design/methodology/approach

This article was based on an in‐depth qualitative case study approach in two general practices in England.

Findings

A distinction is emerging amongst ostensibly equal partners between those general practitioners conducting and those subject to surveillance. Attitudes towards the contract were largely positive, although discontent was higher in the practice which employed a more intensive surveillance regime and greater amongst nurses than doctors.

Research limitations/implications

The sample was small and opportunistic. Further research is required to examine the longer‐term effects as new contractual arrangements evolve.

Practical implications

Increased surveillance and feedback mechanisms associated with new pay‐for‐performance schemes have the potential to constrain and shape clinical practice.

Originality/value

The paper highlights the emergence of new tensions within and between existing professional groupings.
