Monitoring Fairness in the NHS

There are inequalities in the quantity, quality and outcomes of NHS care received by rich and poor people. This research project aims to develop new indicators for monitoring NHS performance in reducing these inequalities.  The research is funded by the NHS National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and further details are available on the NIHR project website.

We would like to know your views on fairness in the NHS to help us select meaningful indicators that address public concerns.
