Subregional resource allocations in the National Health Service.

The Resource Allocation Working Party in its report Sharing Resources for Health in England proposes a formula for the identification of both regional and district financial targets (Department of Health and Social Security, 1976). In this paper it is argued that the national formula is not a valid instrument for the latter purpose. Furthermore, research into medical needs and outcomes will not be adequate to bring about real changes in resource distribution at local levels unless it is recognised that the health authorities can meet needs in different ways and that a change in resource management from institutional to service budgeting is required.

The deployment of home nurses.

A study in Derbyshire showed that there are wide variations in the populations served by individual home nurses. These variations are difficult to reduce. To assess the quantity and quality of home nursing that is provided more sophisticated formulae than the nurse/population ratio are necessary. For these data derived from output of work are inadequate; studies of need are required in each locality.
