As governments worldwide turn to explicit rationing strategies to manage the mismatch between demand for and supply of health services and treatments, disappointed patients and the public have sought to contest the moral authority of bodies making rationing decisions. This has led to the growing involvement of law in this field of public policy. The author argues that, rather than bemoaning this development, those working within the health policy community should recognise the points of confluence between the principles and purposes of public law and the proposals which have been made to address rationing's 'legitimacy problem'. Drawing upon jurisprudence from England, Canada and South Africa, the book evaluates the capacity of courts to establish the conditions for a process of public deliberation from which legitimacy for healthcare rationing may be derived.Cambridge law, medicine, and ethics ;6.Law, Legitimacy & the Rationing of Health CareHealth care rationingLaw and legislationHealth care rationingGovernment policyHealth care rationingMoral and ethical aspectsHealth care rationingLaw and legislation.Health care rationingGovernment policy.Health care rationingMoral and ethical aspects.344.041Syrett Keith850542UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910450949203321Law, legitimacy, and the rationing of healthcare1899085UNINA
