Description

Europe’s Big 5 health systems are in transition. Rapidly ageing populations and budget cuts have forced governments to place greater emphasis on the efficiency of care provision. As part of this efficiency drive, the landscape of care provision in these countries will continue to evolve to meet the dual challenges of limited budgets and changing patient demographics. This research service will assess the evolution of these health systems to understand if changes in care provision reflect sound policy-making or are a knee-jerk response to changing external factors.
