Books about the National Health Service have been written by economists and doctors, but it is difficult to get an overall picture of the legal implications of subject. Who Should We Treat? is written by a lawyer who considers the competing aims of patients, doctors and managers for NHS resources. It is the first book to put scarce resources in the NHS into a legal framework.

内容説明

Who Should We Treat? considers one of the most pressing issues in contemporary society. The National Health Service absorbs an ever-increasing share of national resources, yet patients cannot be guaranteed access to treatment, and doctors and nurses often work under great stress. Why is this so and has the introduction of an internal market for health eased the problem? For the first time, this book puts these medical and ecponomic questions into a legal framework. Should resources affect the standard of care patients should receive, or enable fund-holders' patients to receive treatment first? What rights do elderly people have to NHS care? How are doctors and health service managers held accountable fpr their decisions? Who Should We Treat? is the first book to explain how the law balances the competing claims of patients, doctors and managers to NHS resources.
