Abstract
Ethical issues in the delivery of health care have continued to have a high public profile in the period under review. Much of the debate has been sparked by the radical changes to the health care system introduced by the government in July 1991. The effect of these changes has been evident throughout the health sector, raising anxieties about the introduction of commercial and competitive elements into what was primarily a national health care system similar to that in the United Kingdom (itself undergoing radical change in the same period).
