Socio-technical allocation of resources

"This Casebook describes a new approach to priority setting called Star (Socio-technical allocation of resources). The approach combines value for money analysis with stakeholder engagement. This allows those planning services to determine how resources can be most effectively invested, while the engagement of stakeholders means the decisions are understood and supported by those most affected."
