From Public to Private

Synopsis: What does the transfer from public to private ownership mean for employees, their clients, and the operation of market forces? This programme looks at three cases, the National Freight Corporation, the National Health Service (hospital cleaning services) and British Gas. It finds that the effects of privatisation have varied according to the nature of the market.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
