Care has limited resources - how should they be fairly distributed?

Background - Why priority setting in health care?

In Sweden there are general guidelines on priority setting which were ratified by the Swedish Parliament in 1997.

The ethical platform for priority setting

In Sweden three ethical principles guide priority setting in the health service and they have been included in the Health and Medical Services Act.

National model for open priority setting within health care
