Abstract: While the latter difference might be in line with the needs of different socio-economic groups, most differences are unlikely to be tailored to patients’ needs. Potential causes of inequalities in service provision like structural factors and aspects of the doctor–patient encounter should be further investigated. Copyright Swiss School of Public Health 2012
