Abstract

The 'right to request' policy encouraged and supported National Health Service (NHS) community health staff in England to 'spin out' services into independent social enterprises. This article considers the processes and outputs of the initiative and reflects on the likelihood of positive outcomes for patients being achieved. It highlights lessons for future programmes seeking to transfer services out of public ownership.
