Abstract:

The author evaluates the so called Lalonde Report arguing that both the Report and subsequent policy decisions have failed to deal adequately with the Environment, which the author thinks is the most important of the four elements in Lalonde's Health Field Concept. According to the author, since Environment is wrong, the elements of Human Biology, Lifestyle and Health Care Organization will also be wrong.
