We would like to invite you to take part in the next Matrix Economics Seminar on the subject of Extending Choice in the English NHS: the economic arguments and evidence. The event will take place at a venue to be confirmed.
The seminar will be given by Professor Carol Propper. During the seminar Professor Propper will seek to examine the case for the current policy of extending patient choice in the English NHS focusing on the economic arguments and evidence for and against choice. The baseline onto which this policy is being placed will be examined in the second part of the talk, through an examination of the travel patterns of all English patients for their hospital care just prior to the policy being rolled out.
Professor Carol Propper is Professor of Economics of Public Policy, The Centre for Market and Public Organisation
