This study raises the following question. Should the policy maker be responsible for ensuring adequate monitoring of policy implementation? A policy lays down a course of action for achieving a particular end. Implementation of a policy implies adherence to the course of action stated in the policy. This study was concerned with the relationship between a policy of personalized clothing and the implementation of a particular scheme. Divergence from the original policy occurred because of inadequate communication between those who formulated the policy, those who implemented the policy and the staff who were responsible for day-to-day management associated with the policy. The finding of this study was that the way policy was implemented did not relate to the original objective of the policy. Policy relating to a particular area of health cannot progress scientifically unless evaluation of the implementation of formulated policy occurs. This research therefore advocates that the policy maker should be responsible for ensuring adequate monitoring of the policy when it is implemented.
