It is acknowledged that health technology assessment (HTA) is an inherently value-based activity that makes use of normative reasoning alongside empirical evidence. But the language used to conceptualise and articulate HTA's normative aspects is demonstrably unnuanced, imprecise, and inconsistently employed, undermining transparency and preventing proper scrutiny of the rationales on which decisions are based. This paper – developed through a cross-disciplinary collaboration of 24 researchers with expertise in healthcare priority-setting – seeks to address this problem by offering a clear definition of key terms and distinguishing between the types of normative commitment invoked during HTA, thus providing a novel conceptual framework for the articulation of reasoning. Through application to a hypothetical case, it is illustrated how this framework can operate as a practical tool through which HTA practitioners and policymakers can enhance the transparency and coherence of their decision-making, while enabling others to hold them more easily to account. The framework is offered as a starting point for further discussion amongst those with a desire to enhance the legitimacy and fairness of HTA by facilitating practical public reasoning, in which decisions are made on behalf of the public, in public view, through a chain of reasoning that withstands ethical scrutiny.

Summary
Writing as an officer for an English local government organisation, this author explores the policy-making challenges of urban planning and housing to accommodate growing populations in a context of argued land shortages, growing expectations and more diverse communities. It presents serious challenges on the feasibility and implementation of ideas of co-productive policy making where there is neither consensus nor respect for pluralism. As the contribution makes painfully clear, the nature of the challenge is partly about whether opening up policy to the public is consistent with social justice and other strategic concerns.
The contribution is based on hard-bitten experience in one city of attempts to have an informed conversation about the use of land and provision of housing across the whole area, and across many different population groups. York is at once a very special case, as a historic city and world tourist destination, but also illustrative of many other cases. There are similar debates in other places, over other scarce or contested resources, and in other policy fields. Paul McCabe documents the city's many, and often fraught, experiences of asking citizens to think about growth, and being rejected. Undaunted, he outlines new efforts to create a sense of shared vision and common purpose between policy makers and hundreds of thousands of citizens.
Policy makers and politicians of all shades recognise the urgent need to plan strategically for the accommodation needs of new and growing populations, including the needs of vulnerable and marginalised groups. The UK government, in its 2011 national housing strategy for England, set out plans for a significant upturn in housing supply, in response to projected growth of 232,000 households per year up to 2033. For decades, the UK has seen a growing gap between housing demand and supply, fuelling what is now widely regarded as a national housing crisis. Most know that the provision of good quality housing in sustainable communities is a key enabler of economic growth and underpins a range of other outcomes such as improved health and wellbeing. Despite this, existing communities have often reacted negatively to proposals for growth and real tensions can emerge between strategic goals and the concerns people have about new development.

There is a common belief that an influenza pandemic not only is inevitable, but that it is imminent. It is further believed by some, and dramatized by a 2006 made-for-television-movie, that such a pandemic will herald an end to life as we know it. Are such claims hyperboles, or does a pandemic represent the most significant threat to public health in the new millennium? Any potential effects of a disease on a population are mediated not only through the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease itself, but through the psychological and behavioral reactions that such a disease might engender. It is the purpose of this paper to explore the potential psychological and behavioral reactions that may accompany an influenza pandemic.
