Description
"This important book was the first to draw together all of the cases, statutes, articles, committee reports, reform proposals, and other materials on medical law and ethics. The new edition brings the reader fully up to date with new case law and legislation since the last edition. Many chapters have been completely rewritten to take account of changes to the NHS in the Health Act 1999 and the new NHS complaints system. A new chapter on Products Liability is also included."
