title: Dutch healthcare. Why choice went Dutch.
abstract: The Netherlands, like the UK, has selected increased patient choice as the driver for reform of an expensive and overstretched health service. As the piece's author, Paul Neuburg, writes: 'With choice as their weapon, consumers are being enlisted as food soldiers in the struggle to raise healthcare standards and contain costs.'
