Does cardiac surgical treatment need to be as expensive as it is? How might costs may be reduced?
Comparisons will be made of the mode of service delivery in the UK with that in India and China, with specific attention being paid to cost, efficiency, process and training. Problems that might be helped by a more global approach will be considered, as well wider implications for speciality services during the current period of austerity.
