title: A methodology for resource allocation in health care for South Africa. Part II. The British experience and its relevance to South Africa.
abstract: This second article in the series on resource allocation in health care, argues for a formula-based method of resource allocation in South Africa. The model employed in England since 1976 and its application in a number of developed and developing countries is reviewed. The international experience is related to South African conditions and the principal elements necessary for a formula to achieve greater spatial equity in South African health-resource distribution are discussed.
