About the Book

Is the health service in Australia and New Zealand "just" in its delivery of health care to the population there? This book looks at the variables of class, gender, ethnicity and employment and how they arrct peoples' chances of achieving social justice and equality in the health lottery. The text provides a balanced examination of health, illness, health care and prevention with up-to-date statistics from Australia and New Zealand. For Australian nurses the content relates directly to the philosophies and social settings they will encounter in education and practice. Also, the notion of social justice and the health lottery translates to the experiences of patients and nurses in the UK.
