I'm not clear on the urgency. You may find useful resources here in the US.
I would recommend that you all start at the following:
-Rand
-Brookings
-OpenCRS (open Congressional Research Service)
-Employee Benefit Research Institute
-Institute of Medicine
-Heritage Institute (most likely to believe that privatization works)
I cannot remember any published material arguing with data that
privatization can achieve a Pareto improvement - it is always about
trade-offs.
I can check additional resources on Thursday.
Good luck!

Subject: "FAQ's health cuts"
Greetings all!
I'm sending a composite of two messages to RadStats (mailing list of the
Radical Statistics Group), composed from the original query by:
Kate Bloor <[log in to unmask]>
and a response from:
Jane Galbraith <[log in to unmask]>
(to both of whom this message is being copied, so you have their addresses,
to reply directly).
The originals can be read at:

https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/
webadmin?A2=ind1111&L=RADSTATS&F=&S=&P=13569
I am doing this on behalf of Kate and Jane. I think there is a lot of good
knowledge out there on EBH which could be very helpful for this query.
QUERY:
Can anyone direct me to any good articles or papers, that show that
privatisation of the NHS is not (or is) more efficient, or cheaper, than
public provided care? Or information about the impact of [UK] coalition
[government] policies on actual cuts or reductions in services?
Politicians look for evidence only to support their argument, statisticians
should assess all evidence.
What we need is good quality evidence and discussion. Does that exist in the
public/private NHS debate?
END OF QUERY.
With thanks,
Ted.
