Priority setting is a complex interaction of multiple decisions at various levels in the organisation and constrained by history. There is no self evident set of ethical principles or analytical tools to determine what decisions we should take at various levels, nor is there an obvious or easy way to resolve the clash of claims on resources. To make priority setting more "rational" we should concentrate on the processes and structure of decision making and the relation of macro and micro decisions. The debate should promote reasoned, informed, and open argument, draw on a variety of perspectives, and involve a plurality of interests. The aim must be to build up, over time, the capacity to engage in continuous, collective argument.
确定优先事项是组织内各级多个决策的复杂互动,并受历史因素的制约。没有一套不言而喻的伦理原则或分析工具来决定我们在各级应做出何种决策,也没有明显或简单的方法来解决资源需求的冲突。为了使确定优先事项更具“合理性”,我们应专注于决策的过程和结构以及宏观和微观决策之间的关系。这场辩论应促进合理、明智和开放的论证,借鉴各种观点,并涉及多种利益。目标必须是随着时间的推移,建立起进行持续集体论证的能力。
