Although this book has been written from the perspective of the United Kingdom health service, it will serve as a thought-provoking treatise on ethics of rationing for those considering health care reform in the US and the current rationing delivered by managed care and health systems in the US.

This volume explains why, and in what ways, health care is being rationed in the UK health service. It examines the ethical questions which arise from this rationing and includes personal case studies, from surgeons to geriatric advisors.
