Territorial justice and RAWP (Resource Allocation Working Party).
This study evaluates the success of the RAWP reallocation of health care resources at the regional level in England between 1975 and 1985. This is achieved by studying the degree of territorial justice-the spatial relationship between needs and resources--in these two years. It is discovered that there was greater territorial justice in 1985 than in 1975, which suggests that the RAWP reallocation had at least partially achieved its objective.
