Office for National Statistics iv Smoking and drinking among adults 2009 Introduction In 2008 the Office for National Statistics (ONS) launched the Integrated Household Survey (IHS). In the IHS questionnaires are comprised of two sections: a suite of core IHS questions followed by individual survey modules. In 2009 the modules of the IHS were: • General LiFestyle Survey (GLF) • Living Cost and Food Survey (LCF) • Opinions Survey (OPN) • English Housing Survey (EHS) • Labour Force Survey (LFS) • Annual Population Survey (APS) • Life Opportunities Survey (LOS) Questions on smoking and drinking behaviour formed part of the General Household Survey (GHS) until 2008 when, to mark its entry into the IHS, it was renamed the General LiFestyle Survey (GLF). This report provides information about smoking and drinking based on data collected by the GLF in 2009. It also includes tables showing data on the trends and changes in smoking and drinking measured by the GLF in 2008 and by the GHS over several decades. An overview of the General Lifestyle Survey The GLF is a multi-purpose continuous survey carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It collects information on a range of topics from

PEBODY2 1 Statistics Unit, Health Protection Agency Centre for Infections, London, UK 2 Immunisation, Hepatitis and Blood Safety and Respiratory Diseases Departments, Health Protection Agency Centre for Infections, London, UK (Accepted 23 February 2011; first published online 25 March 2011) SUMMARY We present the results from a novel surveillance system for detecting excess all-cause mortality by age group in England and Wales developed during the pandemic influenza A(H1N1) 2009 period from April 2009 to March 2010. A Poisson regression model was fitted to age-specific mortality data from 1999 to 2008 and used to predict the expected number of weekly deaths in the absence of extreme health events. The system included adjustment for reporting delays. During the pandemic, excess all-cause mortality was seen in the 5–14 years age group, where mortality was flagged as being in excess for 1 week after the second peak in pandemic influenza activity; and in age groups >45 years during a period of very cold weather. This new system has utility for rapidly estimating excess mortality for other acute public health events such as extreme heat or cold weather. Key words: Influenza A, statistics.

This alignment of sport with community development can be attributed to the general view of sport as morally benign (Coalter, 2007) and its increasing salience to both international bodies and national governments as a mechanism to achieve particular local policy objectives (Houlihan and Green, 2009).

Evidence from the UK We discuss changes in the demand for paid sex accompanying the criminalization of prostitution in the United Kingdom, which moved from a relatively permissive regime under the Wolfenden Report of 1960, to a much harder line of aiming to crack down on prostitution with the Prostitution (Public Places) Scotland Act 2007 and the Policing and Crime Act of 2009 in England and Wales.

    WP02 Labour’s record on health (1997-2010) Working Paper 2 July 2013 Labour’s Record on Health (1997-2010) Polly Vizard and Polina Obolenskaya Preface This is one of a series of papers arising from a programme of research called Social Policy in a Cold Climate, designed to examine the effects of the major economic and political changes in the UK since 2007, particularly their impact on the distribution of wealth, poverty, inequality and spatial difference. The analysis includes policies and spending decisions from the last period of the Labour government (2007-2010), including the beginning of the financial crisis, as well as those made by the Coalition government since May 2010. The programme is funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Nuffield Foundation, with London-specific analysis funded by the Trust for London. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the funders. The research is taking place from October 2011 to May 2015. More detail and other papers in the series will be found at: http://sticerd.lse.ac.uk/case/_new/research/Social_Policy_in_a_Cold_Climate.asp In our first set of papers, we look back at the policies of the Labour government from 1997 to 2010, charting their approach and assessing their impact on the distribution of outcomes and on poverty and inequality particularly. This provides a basis for analysing and understanding the changes that have subsequently taken place under the Coalition. 1 WP02 Labour’s record on health (1997-2010) Acknowledgements We are grateful to numerous individuals and organizations for their support in writing this paper.

  • East of England Commentary 2009/2010 Nature of Farming in The
    East of England Commentary 2009/2010 This report includes data collected from the Farm Business Survey for the 2009 to 2010 financial year, relating to the 2009 crop harvest. The Farm Business Survey is conducted on behalf of, and financed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and the data collected in it are Crown Copyright. Nature of Farming in the region The majority of the farmed area of the East of England is focussed on combinable crop production, due to its climate, landscape and suitability of soils. In the northern part of the region, fenland and silt soils permit production of sugar beet, potatoes and field scale vegetables. Pig and poultry production is important in rural East Anglia, due to the proximity of production of grain for feed. Horticultural production is concentrated in the proximity of London, Colchester, and to the north of the region. Grazing livestock utilise grassland throughout the East of England, with higher numbers in the area of the Norfolk Broads and in Hertfordshire. The Norfolk Broads are the East of England’s National Park. This designation covers two per cent of the East of England. Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) account for six per cent of the region (15 per cent across England)1. Contribution of farming to the region’s economy The gross output, calculated for agriculture in the East of England in 2009, was £2,791 million. After deduction of intermediate consumption (effectively annual cash costs), the gross value added (GVA) was £1,064 million. Due to the lower cost of purchases, the gross value added was 14 per cent higher than in 2008.
