Reflections on the health budget. A preliminary analysis of the 1974/75 Ministry of Health budget.
This paper describes the 1974/75 Budget, and analysis it in terms of allocations to Medical Care, Public Health and Training functions as well as by allocations to Regions. 80% of the Health Vote goes into Curative or Medical Care, 12% into the Preventive Services, 6% into Trining and the rest to Headquarters. It brings out the great disparities among the Health Care System of the various Regions, and suggests also that the method of the presentation of the Health Budget makes it difficult to understand resource allocations within the Health Sector.
