Across
much of the developed world, reformers pursue the policy objective
of a seamless health care system. However, whilst this aspiration
is present in the Hong Kong policy community, few changes have been
made to the health care system. In Britain and Singapore, by contrast,
institutional reforms have recently been introduced with the aim
of securing more seamless systems. This paper will analyze the reforms
undertaken in both places, and consider whether they offer useful
lessons for Hong Kong.
