Abstract

This paper rebuts suggestions made by Littlejohns et al that NICE is not ageist by analysing the concept of ageism. It recognises the constraints that finite resources impose on decision making bodies such as NICE and then makes a number of positive suggestions as to how NICE might more effectively and more justly intervene in the allocation of scarce resources for health.

摘要

这篇论文反驳了 Littlejohns 等人提出的 NICE 没有年龄歧视的观点，通过分析年龄歧视的概念来进行论证。文中承认有限资源对 NICE 等决策机构的决策造成了限制，然后提出了一些积极的建议，以期 NICE 能够更有效地、更公正地干预稀缺卫生资源的分配。
