| Sommario/riassunto: | This book examines the intersection of equality law and health care rationing in the context of the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS). It explores how policies and practices in health care allocation impact different demographic groups, including older adults, persons with disabilities, and marginalized communities, particularly during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The book discusses the role of equality law, including the Equality Act and Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, in addressing disparities and ensuring fair access to health care. It also highlights challenges in resource allocation, public health initiatives, and specific contexts like infertility and intensive care. Written for an audience of legal scholars, policymakers, and health care professionals, the book aims to provide critical insights into achieving social justice through equitable health care practices. |
