How do the health care systems in the United Kingdom compare with others internationally? Two years ago I wrote about how health systems in other countries were grappling with the problems of how to support an ageing population with high rates of co-morbidities. I was interested in the fact that the same policy problem can generate different solutions depending on the context in which it sits – so while it may appear that there is a sort of ‘free will’ in decisions about policy, in reality decisions will always depend on the limitations of funding and political structures.
