Involving the public: practical and ethical issues

Abstract
There has been little theoretical or methodological debate about health care rationing. This paper discusses the technical, ethical and political issues surrounding health services priorities and rationing debates in the context of a survey that the authors carried out in the former City and Hackney Health District, which asked the public, and doctors, to prioritise health services. In particular, the issue of the implementation of findings from consulation exercises is raised.
