This paper begins by assessing the state of public facility location research, and follows Dear in suggesting that a new context for analysis is required. Such a context is outlined, placing public goods within a chain of provision that links social policy with the individual's quality of life. Parts of this argument are illustrated with recourse to preliminary empirical work undertaken in Reading on aspects of health-care provision.

The nature of welfare regimes has been an ongoing debate within the comparative social policy literature since the publication of Esping-Andersen's ‘Three Worlds of Welfare’ (1990). This article draws upon recent developments within this debate, most notably Kasza's assertions about the ‘illusory nature’ of welfare regimes, to highlight the health care discrepancy. It argues that health care provision has been a notable omission from the wider regimes literature and one which, if included in the form of a health care decommodification typology, can give credence to Kasza's perspective by highlighting the diverse internal arrangements of welfare states and welfare state regimes.

This article presents data about clinical observation of the patient suffering from acute appendicitis with diagnosis pecularities, unusual tactic of treatment with the subsequent dissatisfaction in this regard with the quality of health care provision. Compliance with the deiontological principles showing mutual respect on the part of both the medical staff and patients may prevent bringing charges against organizations because of inadequate medical care provision.
