Chancellor George Osborne on Wednesday delivered what will be seen as a bombshell announcement for public sector workers, including many in the NHS, with news that pay restraint is going to continue for at least another four years. Mr Osborne told MPs public sector pay rises would be limited to 1 per cent a year for four years \u2013 a move likely to anger unions and staff alike, following last year\u2019s pay dispute in the NHS which saw staff take industrial action.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonhslks.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">Contact the Library &amp; Knowledge Service<\/a> to request this article in full or Phn. 01704 704202<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Health economics and integrated care: a growing and challenging relationship \u2013 International Journal Of Integrated Care<\/strong><br \/>\nIn recent decades, the number of published health economic studies \u2013 especially economic evaluation studies \u2013 in<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ijic.org\/index.php\/ijic\/article\/view\/2201\/2988\" target=\"_blank\"> the field of integrated care<\/a> has increased substantially.\u00a0In general, these studies do not focus on developing innovative health economic methodologies, beyond the current state of art, but instead apply traditional methods usually developed within the medical field. The problem with this approach is that integrated care is often being evaluated with unsuitable health economic methods, as the main characteristics of integrated care models often differ from more traditional models of medical care. Consequently, a continued use of traditional health economic methods might result in invalid conclusions. This may hamper scientific research as well as policy-making on integrated care.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Hospitals that try to be \u2018islands of autonomy\u2019 will fail \u2013 Health Service Journal<\/strong><br \/>\nThe new minister for NHS productivity has warned that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hsj.co.uk\/news\/minister-hospitals-that-try-to-be-islands-of-autonomy-will-fail\/5087770.article?referrer=RSS#.VZ4ZwV9VhHw\" target=\"_blank\">acute trusts will fail<\/a> if they try to get through the coming NHS savings drive as \u2018islands of autonomy\u2019.\u00a0Lord Prior made the comment to HSJ in his first interview since his appointment as a health minister in May.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonhslks.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">Contact the Library &amp; Knowledge Service<\/a> to request this article in full or Phn. 01704 704202<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Devolved authorities could \u2018share\u2019 NHS functions \u2013 Health Service Journal<\/strong><br \/>\nCombined authorities could <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hsj.co.uk\/news\/commissioning\/exclusive-devolved-authorities-could-share-nhs-functions\/5087777.article?referrer=RSS#.VZ5M519VhHw\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018jointly\u2019 hold NHS powers<\/a>, instead of them being removed from government or health service bodies entirely, under government devolution plans.\u00a0Ministers plan to lay an amendment next week which will specify this option.
