Highlights
•
Responsiveness centres on understanding peoples' ‘legitimate’ expectations of their health system.
•
Healthcare-related expectations are shaped at the intersection of social, temporal, and spatial ‘locations’.
•
Expectations are also shaped by social norms, and market-driven practices and forces in the health system.
•
There is a need for health system actors to consider the impact of market forces on responsive care provision.
•
Active citizen participation and contestation is also needed to establish ‘legitimate’ expectations of care.
