Recent reforms with regard to Japan's child daycare policies have moved in the direction of deregulation, increased privatization and private/public partnerships. These reforms have substantially increased the availability of diversity of child daycare services. However, initiatives creating diversity have introduced issues of lack of equal access to highly desired services as, with privatization, higher quality services may cost more. Also, in municipally-provided care, parents are paying a greater proportion of the cost of childcare. These factors create a situation where poorer parents may not be able to afford the best care. The dominant Liberal Democratic Party has been reluctant to substantially increase national expenditures for child daycare and other supportive family policies. While it has provided initiatives that have eased the predicament of some working women, it has not resolved the cultural issue of utilizing women in a secondary role in employment and emphasizing the mother's responsibility (increasingly a working mother) as a caregiver of young children. As a result, family size remains substantially below the measure of population replacement.

This paper argues that regulation needs a radical overhaul if it is to support rather than stand in the way of the serious changes being proposed for the health and care services. It explains why the current regulation framework is not fit for purpose and needs to be reformed so that it better supports professionals providing health and care. It suggests that regulation of professionals cannot be changed in isolation but must take account of the places in which they work. It calls for deregulation, less regulation and better regulation. The report makes a series of recommendations intended to reshape how regulation works so that it is able to face the challenges of the future. These include: shared objectives for system and professional regulators; transparent benchmarking to set standards; a rebuilding of trust between professionals, the public and regulators; a reduced scope of regulation so it focuses on what works; a proper risk assessment model; and placing real responsibility where it lies with the people who manage and deliver care.

The market in social care services in England provides the best available example for policy makers of what happens to the quality of care and the terms and conditions of the care workforce when competitive pressures are used to bring about a reduction in the cost of care to the taxpayer. The Health and Social Care Act 2012 puts in place a framework to create a competitive market in NHS-funded care services in England, and places requirements on local commissioners to put many NHS-funded services out to competitive tender. Whilst there are many differences between the current structure of the NHS and that of social care, there are nonetheless a number of lessons which policymakers can learn from the experience of social care markets in England for the future of the NHS. This discussion paper highlights four main lessons based on the evidence from the operation of social care markets over the past two decades, and asks whether what has happened in social care could be repeated in the NHS in England. The first concerns the rapidity of growth in private sector provision of state-funded social care. Second, introducing competition as a means of reducing costs has a significant impact on the quality of services. Third, the drive that keeps costs down through competitive market pressures has led to the deregulation and casualisation of the social care workforce. Lastly, provider failure is an inevitable consequence of any care market, with significant implications for patients, care users and their families. This report was produced by CHPI’s Executive Management Team in consultation with members of its expert contributor network.

This article examines changes in the New Labour core executive's approach to regulation and its relationship with risk, through analysing documentary, legislative and press sources concerning approaches to regulatory decision-making. It claims that an initial commitment to 'better regulation' has gradually been replaced by explicit support for deregulation. A reduction in the scope of regulation was also promoted by the Thatcher and Major governments. The New Labour core executive shares previous (Conservative) administrations' concern to include business in deregulatory decision-making. However, the article claims that there is one significant difference in the New Labour deregulatory approach: a new toleration of risk. Deregulation is, now, described as a corrective to regulators'
This article examines changes in the New Labour core executive's approach to regulation and its relationship with risk, through analysing documentary, legislative and press sources concerning approaches to regulatory decision-making. It claims that an initial commitment to 'better regulation' has gradually been replaced by explicit support for deregulation. A reduction in the scope of regulation was also promoted by the Thatcher and Major governments. The New Labour core executive shares previous (Conservative) administrations' concern to include business in deregulatory decision-making. However, the article claims that there is one significant difference in the New Labour deregulatory approach: a new toleration of risk. Deregulation is, now, described as a corrective to regulators' over-reactions to perceived risks, which, it is claimed, are holding back economic and technological progress. However, this new approach excludes competing views concerning how risk should be regulated. In particular, it does not engage with widespread popular views that governments should continue to protect against risk.
