| Abstract: | This article deals with the aftermath of the creation of a new governance structure in the UK National Health Service. This new governance strcuture is conceptualized as a "Trust Hospital Archetype" in order to establish the promises and limitations of an archetype transition framework. It is found that the "reality" of the "Trust Hospital Archetype" is one involving a high degree of contestation. This is confirmed by evidence drawn from interviews, documents, observation and participant observation. |
