Abstract :
We would like to thank Pollock (1), Frith (2) and Cox (3) for their interesting analyses and suggestions on our article “Morality and markets in the NHS”. A number of important themes arise: the lack of either practicality or morality of a healthcare market or privatisation; the need for values to be supported (where possible) by legislation; and the crucial importance of humanity and compassion in healthcare.
