Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par IRDES 8qIBR0xI. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. This review is part of a series of country-based studies generating new evidence on financial protection in European health systems. Financial protection is central to universal health coverage and a core dimension of health system performance. This review examines the extent to which people living in the United Kingdom experience financial hardship when using health services. It covers the period between 2008 and 2014, a time during which policy responses to the global financial crisis and to the recession in the United Kingdom affected health and social care budgets. Research shows that financial hardship is more likely to occur when public spending on health is low in relation to the gross domestic product (GDP), and out-of-pocket payments account for a relatively high share of total spending on health. Increases in public spending or reductions in out-of-pocket payments are not, in themselves, a guarantee of better financial protection, however. Policy choices are also important. |
