Analyzing the current functioning and funding of the Dutch health care system, this book shows how three dimensions of sustainability ? financial, staffing and societal ? are under increasing pressure. This study explores priority setting in health care and calls for well-informed, clear and sometimes uncompromising choices in the allocation of means and personnel. This is necessary in order to maintain accessible and high-quality care for all, and to improve public health. Making balanced choices in health care is of particular importance to vulnerable groups whose voices may not be heard as readily or effectively in the public debate, and whose interests are more easily crowded out. Prioritizing in the domain of public health care is first and foremost a political responsibility, but also one for health care providers acrossthe system and ultimately also for citizens. While this work focuses on the Netherlands, similar processes are at play across the developed economies, making it broadly relevant to policy makers, health care professionals and health care (policy) researchers grappling with the questions surrounding the sustainability of public health care. 410 0$aResearch for Policy, Studies by the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy,$x2662-3692 606 $aMedical policy 606 $aMedical economics 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aHealth Policy 606 $aHealth Economics 606 $aPublic Economics 615 0$aMedical policy. 615 0$aMedical economics. 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 14$aHealth Policy. 615 24$aHealth Economics. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 676 $a362.1 700 $aWerner$b Gijsbert$01742217 701 $aRiel$b Arthur van$01667525 701 $aGijsberts$b Mérove$01747811 701 $aVisser$b Marianne de$01747812 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910866584503321 996 $aFinancial, Staffing and Societal Sustainability of Dutch Health Care$94180093 997 $aUNINA
