Description

This module examines some central ethical, and political problems facing health policy in the UK and abroad, especially in relation to social justice. Topics covered include: how to allocate healthcare resources (e.g. should the NHS cover all new drug treatments, regardless of how expensive they are? Who should decide?); the appropriate role of the state in protecting and promoting health (e.g. should smoking be banned?); when inequalities in health and life expectancy are unfair; and the relationship between health and social care. It will introduce you to approaches to these problems from public health ethics, feminist philosophy and political philosophy.
