Choosing the place of care: the effect of patient choice on treatment location in England, 2003-2011: This report examines the effect of patient choice and the independent sector on treatment location in England, specifically the extent to which patients (or their referring doctors) have been choosing a different location of care since 2006. It is the first output from a three-year joint programme of work between the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and the Nuffield Trust: 'understanding competition and choice in the NHS', which will establish a long-term expertise in the use of competition and market mechanisms in health care both in England and internationally.
