Buildings dominate discussions on reconfiguring health care
Many health professionals are engaged in efforts to
reconfigure health services, but these are dominated by discussions
about building hospitals. Black (p 1290) argues that in the UK
discussions about reconfiguring specialist health services are focused
on centralising services in big hospitals. The public, however, values local services. Labour supply problems and information technology may also influence changes in health systems. The NHS
ought to encourage different ways of investment for health gain.
