Quality and equity

Measures of how patients access services, their experiences of care and the outcomes of care – including how well health and care services meet the needs of different groups of patients or staff – are fundamental to understanding whether policies are delivering the impact intended. This spotlight gathers together our work to assess how different societal groups are affected by these important policy decisions.
