Review: "This book addresses some of the important questions being asked in relation to health in the future. What will the health system look like, how much will it cost, what ethical framework will underlie future health policy and can we really have a system that is designed to improve health as well as provide healthcare? Based on the 'Policy Futures for UK Health' project based at the Judge Institute of Management, this collection explores the shape of the health system and its key components, taking a multidisciplinary approach to health policy questions that is designed to appeal to the specialist and those who want to know more about our health system and what it might look like in the future."--BOOK JACKET.
