Priority Setting in Action - Purchasing Dilemmas

The power of purchasers exposes the weaknesses of conventional thinking on the costs and benefits of priorities.

This authoritative and practical text points the way towards clear choices in resource allocation and the implications of these choices on expenditure diverted among different health care programmes.
