Since the mid 1970's, reforms to the health care system were aimed at controlling expenditures. Furthermore, there was not much of a relationship between public health policies and expenditure control policies. The reforms of 1996 aimed to introduce a new paradigm. The French health care system, based until then upon the biomedical model, now must adopt public health tools: Definition of health objectives; Development of priorities; Evaluation; Allocation of resources based on needs; Public debates. The objective of this study is to evaluate the move toward defining priorities, three years after the introduction of this reform. The study focused on the type of priorities implemented (e.g. implicit or explicit priorities, access to health care services, or severity of health problems) and their links to the allocation of resources; and the practical development of priorities (e.g. political or technocratic procedure, the role of public debates). In France, priorities are defined by health problem and not by service. They are explicit, but the link to allocation of resources isn't clear. Despite a wide consultation, the system of defining priorities is more technocratic than political. Moreover, the system is more concerned with including health professionals (doctors, administrators) in this new approach to public health, than with taking public opinion into account.
