Abstract
This case study is being framed primarily as one in Labor Process analysis, looking at the impact of computerized information systems in control over work conducted in a general practice setting. The health care sector has undergone continual change in the past 10 years but since the introduction of the Health and
Disabilities Act 1993 has moved progressively towards market orientated methods of funding. This has bought about a central change in the work practices of general physicians, facilitated in part by the use of computerized information systems.
