What the paper says

ABSTRACT This policy forum brings together four evidence‐based opinion articles that examine specialist affordability and access from contemporary and complementary perspectives. The authors argue that current policy settings fail to deliver coherent financial signals to patients and providers, inadequately protect vulnerable populations and fall short of addressing the structural drivers of fee growth and access inequities.
