These differences create opportunities for UK’s governments to materialize “most advanced” neo-liberal reforms in the fi eld of public employment services. Not only the current situation of marketized employment services in UK, but also its historical developments provide numbers of positive and negative examples for the countries planning to implement similar reforms.. This study does not reach a conclusion indicating that UK has best or worst practices in this fi eld. However, it suggests that the UK’s example contains very valuable inputs about pros and cons of marketization in public employment services and how this process should manage. In this scope, the study aims to derive lessons from UK case for Turkish public employment services from objective point of view.","PeriodicalId":122234,"journal":{"name":"Sosyal Güvence Dergisi","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130689302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the Commonwealth Fund study in 2014, UK healthcare system ranks first regarding quality, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives among 11 developed nations with even a fair cost. However, when it comes to cancer outcomes, UK lags behind many developed countries. Cancer survival is a good example of an area in which both health outcomes and public satisfaction, key determinants of quality, are strikingly lacking. Therefore, this paper, to analyze and formulate reforms to address deficient quality in the English health system, will look at the particular example of cancer survival rates. The key factors leading to deficient outcomes in cancer survival are delays in diagnosis and access to appropriate care. Policy recommendations to improve cancer survival rates are to timely screening and early diagnostic opportunities within the primary care system, utilize available treatment capacity and quick approval and workforce training for utilization of new treatments and drugs, and continue prioritizing cancer care coordination and integration through improved referral services, and increase provider decision support","PeriodicalId":122234,"journal":{"name":"Sosyal Güvence Dergisi","volume":" 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120826526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There have been many explanations that the US having the highest healthcare spending, such as prices, high prevalence of new-technology, chronic diseases and administrative cost.

In this context, the paper analyzes the US and France healthcare systems and then compares both systems in terms of costs.

Since we have limited resources, allocation of resources becomes more of an issue. Cancer is one of most leading causes of death in the world and each year, money spent on cancer treatment goes up. However, today new cancer drugs and treatment only provide narrow benefit with very high costs. Therefore, only limited number of people enjoys getting the treatment and fewer treatment or drugs are reimbursed. In addition, many countries do not have a standard to decide whether a cancer drug or a treatment will be covered.
