| Annotation | This paper presents the results of a structured questionnaire survey of health authorities in England, Wales and Scotland carried out between September 1995 and January 1996. These results indicate that most authorities wanted more input in priority setting from the public, even though health authority experience of involving the public was mixed. The pursuit by health authorities of explicit priority setting in resource allocation requires more information on key decision making criteria - especially from the public. The authors review the relevant literature to assess the value of public opinion in priority setting. |
