Abstract

The introduction of quasi-markets into the public sector suggests that entrepreneurship may have an increasing role to play within the resulting new structures. This article examines the nature of public sector entrepreneurship in the context of the new arrangements for the provision of primary care in the UK. Preliminary evidence points to the existence of different types of entrepreneurship. In particular, there is evidence of entrepreneurship in the form of the reduction in inefficiency, price-quality arbitrage and innovation. There is also evidence to suggest that the GPs who became fundholders early on are rather more entrepreneurial than those who have adopted fundholding at a later stage.
