Description
Access to Health Care considers the meaning of 'access' in health care and examines the theoretical issues that underpin these questions in health research and health policy. Access is considered in both a UK and an international context. The book includes chapters on contrasting health policies in the United States and the European Union. Access to Health Care provides health care researchers, as well as health professionals, managers and policy analysts, with a clear and wide-ranging overview of topical and controversial questions in health policy and health services organisation and delivery.
