Abstract:
In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the distribution of health care
and finance in the UK. This paper reviews the accumulating evidence. It discusses the empirical measures of equity used in the various studies and the issues involved in the empirical construction of these measures. The main findings on both the delivery and finance side are presented and an extension of these cross-sectional analyses to an investigation of the lifetime equity in delivery and finance based on data from a micro-simulation model is discussed.
