“I would be very proud to be part of an initiative that didn’t exclude people because it was hard”: mapping and contextualising health equity responsibilities and decision-making t... by Tristan Bouckley, David Peiris, Devaki Nambiar, Samuel Prince, Sallie-Anne Pearson, Gill Schierhout

“…We also identified six critical decision-making tensions that influenced health equity prioritisation during early implementation, reflecting participants’ perceptions that health equity prioritisation was in conflict with attention to other priorities. These were equity-efficiency; localisation-capacity for health equity; diffuse responsibilities-enforceability; invisible-vocal sub-populations; and health equity-sustainable business models for private providers. …”
