| Abstract: | The structure of health care services varies enormously from country to country, and the responses of policy makers to these difficulties exhibit similar characteristics. In the UK, resource allocation has been effected within the National Health System, a public health care system. Recently, however, a number of reforms have been effected which have increased the role of quasi markets. The reforms which have occured are investigated and evaluated. The characteristics of the health care market are discussed, the objectives of the health care system are identified, the attempts to create a health care market are presented, and the conclusions drawn are described. |
