title: Health systems. And ne'er the twain shall meet.
abstract: The differences between the English and Scottish health systems are becoming increasingly wide. The star-grading system in England has led to a winners and losers model, whereas Scotland has gone for a more collective approach. England has emphasised partnership with the private sector, Scotland with the voluntary sector and councils. Both systems will rely increasingly on staff involvement.
