Methods for the Economic Evaluation of Healthcare Programmes

This review is for the first edition, published in 1987 and reprinted seven times. Later editions are enlarged and are more expensive. The text is an excellent introduction into ways of comparing and assessing the value of health care, and has a great introduction into the reasons for undertaking such exercises. Arguably, more recent publications will be of greater use, but this edition is a fine first start. Its price is most reasonable too. C Forsyth
