@JillWilliams this is a great point. In Seminar 2 we will have a discussion around health economic policy making - using decision making frameworks to incorporate objective and ideological thinking
-
@JillWilliams What do you think could be done to remedy this?
-
@IanMcLellan an interesting point about the devolution of healthcare systems. Do you think that this is a theme throughout UK politics right now?

@JoanneSaltfleet can you expand on this?

@JillWilliams you're right. This is called opportunity cost and we will talk about this in Seminar 2

@MicheleCampanelli there have been a few viewpoints that policies during the Covid have followed the 'Rule of Rescue' rather than focus on younger people and the spread. This is a valid view on the problem. Death tolls are reported daily on the news, do you think higher death tolls may have had a positive or negative effect on the morale of the population?
