We further show that the choice of health inequality measure implies a particular vertical equity judgement, which may be expressed on a common scale in terms of the concentration index of health changes that would be inequality preserving.

For all IRHI measures that have the same IRHI equivalence criterion, P will be identical, reflecting the common vertical equity judgement, whereas the scale indices q will differ because of the alternative normalisations.
