摘要
The backdrop to this article is provided by the Better Health, Better Care Action Plan (Scottish Government, 2007), Section 1 of which is entitled Towards a Mutual NHS'. According to Better Health, Better Care (Scottish Government, 2007: 5): Mutual organisations are designed to serve their members. They are designed to gather people around a common sense of purpose. They are designed to bring the organisation together in what people often call co-production.' The aim of this article is to precis the current knowledge of mutuality in the provision of Scottish healthcare. In detail, it will: introduce the mutual' organisation; offer a historical perspective of mutuality; suggest why healthcare mutuality is important; and briefly, detail the differences in mutual health-care policy in England and Scotland. It is hoped that this analysis will help researchers and practitioners alike appreciate further the philosophy of mutuality in the provision of Scottish healthcare.
