The Labour Party and Health Policy in Middlesborough, 1900-1950. (360G-Wellcome-079543_Z_06_A)

£4,991

This project will have two key elements: a qualitative exploration of the Middlesbrough Labour party's health policy as revealed in a variety of political locale; and a prosopographical (collective biography) study of the individuals involved in the various levels of hospital and health service management. It will seek to uncover the priorities of the Middlesbrough Labour party, especially their position on the provision of hospital care, and it will investigate the involvement of workers, their unions and Labour activists in the management of the voluntary and municipal hospitals. Existing data on voluntary hospital and municipal committee members will be linked to new information on occupation, political affiliation and other associational involvement to produce a network of labour activism within the local health system. The study will be based largely on the local press coverage of elections and associational culture. Hospital records will be utilised to ascertain levels of politicisation or accommodation whilst the impact of Labour and the unions on municipal health policy will be drawn from full council and committee minutes. Outputs will include a conference paper in Spring 2007 and an article in a refereed journal to be submitted at the end of the project.
