Setting Limits Fairly

The central discussion in this book is that we lack consensus on the principles for allocating resources; in the absence of such a consensus we must rely on a fair decision-making process for setting limits on health care. The authors provide a convincing analysis of the current situation, reviewing the present situation and then go on to describe their own approach, which represents a clear advance in thinking. The problem of setting fair limits on medical resources is one that cuts across many types of health care systems. This book is therefore intended for an international audience.
