Abstract
THE report of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)1 on public expenditure on health, published last year, contains a great deal of statistical information about the pattern of spending on health care by the member countries and discusses the reasons for some of the differences observed. The report emphasizes the point that the main reason for concern about publicly financed health is the aggregate size of its claims on national resources and its fast rise in relation to other components of expenditure. In all the member countries the cost of hospital care is the largest item of public-health . . .Keywords
