Abstract
It has long been recognised that inequalities exist in the availability of primary medical care. Less well known, however, are the distributional inequalities that exist in the secondary sector. This paper examines the relationships between hospital resource allocation, the presence of medical resources and need in New Zealand's 29 hospital boards in 1976. Although the relationship between resource allocation and need was positive, it was found to be tenuous, with bed numbers, political pressure and the system's inertia being the more important determinants of allocation levels.
