The "rationing" of health care has become one of the most emotive
issues of the 1990s in the UK, causing much public confusion and
political controversy. This book provides a comprehensive and
critical introduction to this debate. It does so by examining the
processes which determine who gets what in the way of treatment,
the decision makers involved at different levels in the NHS and the
criteria used in making such decisions. In particular it analyses
the relationship between decisions about spending priorities (taken
by politicians and managers) and decisions about rationing care for
individual patients (taken by doctors), between explicit and
implicit rationing. As well as drawing on research-based evidence
about what is happening in Britain today, Managing Scarcity also
looks at the experience of the NHS since 1948 and puts the case of
health care in the wider context of publicly funded services and
programmes which have to allocate limited resources according to
non-market criteria. Managing Scarcity is recommended reading for
students and researchers of health policy, as well as health
professionals and policy makers at all levels in the NHS.
