title: NDUs: can they fit in a market-led service?
abstract: This article discusses how NDUs fit into the concepts that are currently governing the management of the NHS such as marketability, accountability and cost-effectiveness of care. The author argues that while there are potential difficulties, the NDU values of equality, democracy, esteem-building and personal growth are relevant in the business world of health care.
