Written for non-economists involved in managerial decision-making in the NHS, this text guides healthcare providers towards a better understanding of health economics. Detailing the ways health economics can aid managers in making more informed decisions, particularly in a time of budget constraints and rationing, the book also includes a number of case studies. The author's interpretation of a complex topic should help health service managers understand the importance of economics in both service planning and appraisal.
