A timely and innovative overview of the key debates relating to public health policy in the UK.
explains that health-care services are not the principal determinants of health, and asks why, therefore, they absorb the bulk of resources and attention of policy-makers.
Argues that a paradigm shift is needed if current health policy biases are to be confronted.
Uses examples from Europe and Canada, where a similar policy imbalance exists.
Sets out the policy implications for the future and offers a way forward based on the concept of managing for health.
