| Annotation | Since devolution in 1998, it has become more difficult to collect comparable data on the National Health Service (NHS) across the four UK countries, particularly on expenditure and waiting times. NHS activity and health outcomes seem more dependent on how healthcare resources are deployed than higher levels of resources. The most striking difference between the countries in 2002 was the shorter waiting times in England, which introduced enforced targets for waiting. This article presents a range of health indicators for UK countries for 1996/97 and 2003/03. (RH). |
