Social Science & Medicine, 2015, vol. 126, issue C, 128-137

Abstract: Resources available to the health care sector are finite and typically insufficient to fulfil all the demands for health care in the population. Decisions must be made about which treatments to provide. Relatively little is known about the views of the general public regarding the principles that should guide such decisions.
