The British National Health Service alongside many other western countries is faced with competing pressures for limited health care resources which reflect, along with an increased accountability of both purchasers and providers of health care, the need for a clear function of explicit prioritisation from those who purchase health care. To enable limited health resources to be thus allocated, purchasers of health care must, therefore, be able to quantify not only the needs of their populations, but to predict and measure the outcomes from a health care intervention. This paper is concerned with the value framework underlying the twin dimension of needs and outcome assessment and seeks to address this framework from the sociological, philosophical and economic perspective and to determine the implications for the underlying distributive ethic.
