Medicine, Health, and Justice: The Problem of Priorities
(1978)
Abstract
My aims has been to approach the debate about health service priorities from the perspective of political philosophy, but to keep the discussion firmly anchored in comtemporary problems of health care provision. The chapters are designed to provide the groundwork for anyone interested in the ethical problems in modern health care. I have used examples of health care delivery in Britain, the USA, the USSR, and the People's Republic of China to illustrate different aspects of the problem of priorities. The issues can be summarised under three broad headings: Distribution, effectiveness, and authority to make decisions.
