Alan Keith Maynard OBE FMedSci (15 December 1944 – 2 February 2018)[1] was a British health economist.
Biography
[edit]Born in Bebington, Maynard studied at the Universities of Newcastle upon Tyne and York. After a stint at the University of Exeter, he was appointed to the University of York in 1971. There, he became a professor in 1983,[2] founded the Centre for Health Economics (CHE) the same year.[1]
In 1986, Maynard suggested the use of a cost-effectiveness hurdle for new pharmaceutical products and drug budgets for controlling the growth in public expenditure on medicines.[3] This latter led to the introduction of the GP Fundholding scheme in 1991.[4]
Maynard created the York Health Policy Group in 1996.[5] In 1995, he briefly served as the Chief Executive of the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust. From 1997 to 2010, Maynard was Chairman of the York Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.[2][6] He was founding editor of the journal Health Economics[7] and commentator for Pulse.[8]
In 2000, Maynard was made Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences.[9] He was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2009[10] for his involvement in the National Health Service and also received honorary degrees from the University of Aberdeen in 2003 and the University of Northumbria in 2006.[11] Along with his long-time colleague Anthony J. Culyer, he was the recipient of the 2015 William B. Graham Prize for Health Services Research.[12]
