Dear All,
apologies for any cross posting
I have attached details of a workshop to be held at the London School of
Economics, as part of a Joseph Rowntree Foundation initiative next Wednesday
13th December to explore issues in using economic evaluation in health and
other areas of social welfare evaluation.
Although this first workshop will not consider equity issues in great
detail, future workshops will consider these issues in more detail, and list
members may therefore be interested in attending or finding out more.. There
are a few places left. If anyone wishes to attend please e-mail me, to
reserve a place.
A copy of the programme is provided at the end of this message.
