Abstract
This chapter draws on the doctoral work of Christiane Stelling who is the chapter author. It examines in particular the concept of trust and in this regard is based on the extension of the work of Falck into ‘return to work’ of people who have been on long term sick absence contracts in Denmark. The chapter gives an account of issues which emerged with these contracts which illustrate attitudes towards private delivery in the public domain.
