It presents data from four sources: mortality statistics from the Health and Social Care Information Centre's Compendium of clinical health indicators; mid-2005 population estimates for local authorities (Office for National Statistics - ONS); the Index of Multiple Deprivation (MD2004); and the Department of Health (DH) published description of the 152 PCTs and 10 SHAs. Each table is accompanied by explanatory notes, comments on interpretation of each index, and commentary on the variation in need between areas. (RH). |
