Health and health care are increasingly big business. The challenge is to apply our knowledge and skills to meet people's needs, if not their demands as efficiently, effectively and beneficially as possible. "Value for money" is the slogan. For those who deliver the goods as required, the converse. "money for value" should equally apply, and not only in a market driven system. This paper offers a very personal view of these issues in the light of recent UK policy developments.
健康及医疗保健正日益成为大型产业。挑战在于运用我们的知识和技能，尽可能高效、有效且有益地满足人们的需求，即便不是满足其所有要求。“物有所值”是口号。对于那些按要求提供服务的人而言，反之，“钱有所值”同样适用，且不仅适用于市场驱动型体系。鉴于英国近期的政策发展，本文提供了对这些问题的非常个人化的观点。
