  • The Four Health Systems of the United Kingdom: How Do They Compare?
    The four health systems of the United Kingdom: how do they compare? Gwyn Bevan, Marina Karanikolos, Jo Exley, Ellen Nolte, Sheelah Connolly and Nicholas Mays Source report April 2014 About this research This report is the fourth in a series dating back to 1999 which looks at how the publicly financed health care systems in the four countries of the UK have fared before and after devolution. The report was commissioned jointly by The Health Foundation and the Nuffield Trust. The research team was led by Nicholas Mays at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The research looks at how the four national health systems compare and how they have performed in terms of quality and productivity before and after devolution. The research also examines performance in North East England, which is acknowledged to be the region that is most comparable to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in terms of socioeconomic and other indicators. This report, along with an accompanying summary report, data appendices, digital outputs and a short report on the history of devolution (to be published later in 2014), are available to download free of charge at www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/compare-uk-health www.health.org.uk/compareUKhealth. Acknowledgements We are grateful: to government statisticians in the four countries for guidance on sources of data, highlighting problems of comparability and for checking the data we have used; for comments on the draft report from anonymous referees and from Vernon Bogdanor, Alec Morton and Laura Schang; and for guidance on national clinical audits from Nick Black and on nursing data from Jim Buchan.

  • Islamic Radicalization in the Uk: Index of Radicalization
    ISLAMIC RADICALIZATION IN THE UK: INDEX OF RADICALIZATION Anna Wojtowicz, (Research Assistant, ICT) Sumer 2012 ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to analyze the process of radicalization amongst British Muslims in the United Kingdom. It begins with a review of the Muslim population, demographics and community structure. Further presenting several internal and external indicators that influenced and led to radicalization of Muslim youth in Britain. The paper concludes that there is no one certainty for what causes radicalization amongst Muslims in United Kingdom. However, it is certain that Islamic radicalization and the emergence of a homegrown threat is a growing trend that jeopardizes the countries security, peace and stability. Radicalization in the United Kingdom is an existing concern that needs to be addressed and acted upon immediately. Misunderstanding or underestimating the threat may lead to further and long term consequences. * The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT). 2 I.

  • Temporary Play Street Orders
    Temporary Play Street Orders Introduction Since Bristol City Council introduced the UK’s first ‘Temporary Play Street Order’ in 2012, at least 56 other local authorities have implemented similar policies, allowing residents to make a one-off (usually annual or biannual) application to open their street for children to play out freely on a regular basis (usually up to weekly). Most streets are doing this following the resident-led ‘playing out’ model, where through traffic is diverted but residents still have car access. Along with official ‘Road Closed’ signage and barriers, volunteer stewards redirect traffic and escort vehicles in and out at walking pace. Many local authorities have shown an interest in supporting this model of resident-led street play as it has been shown to be ‘do-able’, sustainable, low risk and low-cost. However, there has been some confusion over the legal basis for implementing a ‘TPSO’ or street play policy and, until there is official guidance from the UK government, this briefing aims to help local authorities understand the legalities and to suggest best practice, based on the experience of councils and residents around the country. The Playing Out website contains detailed film and written guidance for residents wanting to follow this model as well as evidence of the health and wellbeing impact for children and communities. Legal framework There are currently three different pieces of legislation being used by councils to enable play streets. These are listed below, with some pros and cons under each one. 1847 Town Police Clauses Act http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/10-11/89/contents This Act is used by many local authorities in England to enable events and street parties.

  • Towards a Diversification of Causes of Deaths 1 Introduction
    Towards a Diversification of Causes of Deaths Marie{Pier Bergeron{Boucher [email protected] Center on Population Dynamics (CPop) University of Southern Denmark Short abstract Lifespan inequalities have been decreasing since the 17th century in industrialized soci- eties, as individuals became more homogeneous in their age at death. But are individuals also becoming more homogeneous in their cause of death? In this paper, the diversity of causes of death is studied using entropy measures. It is shown that, due to the major reductions in deaths from cardiovascular diseases, the share of a range of other causes of deaths, such as infectious diseases, mental and behavioral disorders and diseases of the nervous system, have been increasing in the last two decades in 16 low mortality countries. This redistribution of cardiovascular deaths towards many other causes is leading to a diversification of causes of death. 1 Introduction Age and cause of death distributions have known major changes since the 17th century, leading to important improvements in life expectancy. These changes have been summarized in the epidemiological transition (Omran, 1971). The epidemiological transition hypothesis that all countries did or will go through three stages: 1) Age of pestilence and famine, characterized by high and fluctuating mortality dominated by infectious and parasitic diseases; 2)Age of receding pandemics, characterized by a decline in mortality, especially mortality due to infectious dis- eases; 3) Age of degenerative and man-made diseases, during which mortality reductions slow down and mortality is now dominated by degenerative and man-made diseases. However, the progress in mortality reductions did not slow down in the Age of degenerative and man-made diseases in many industrialized countries, as theorized by Omran (1971), due to important reductions from cardiovascular mortality.

  • Local and Regional Democracy in the United Kingdom
    26th SESSION Strasbourg, 25-27 March 2014 CG(26)10FINAL 26 March 2014 Local and regional democracy in the United Kingdom Monitoring Committee Rapporteurs: 1 Angelika KORDFELDER, Germany (L, SOC) Alexander USS, Russian Federation (R, EPP/CCE) Recommendation 353 (2014) .......................................................................................................................... 2 Explanatory memorandum .............................................................................................................................. 5 Summary This is the second report on the state of local and regional democracy in the United Kingdom and follows up on Recommendation 49 of 1998. The report expresses satisfaction that the United Kingdom is, in general, in compliance with the obligations taken under the Charter and that, compared to 1998, the situation has improved, notably through the devolution process. As regards consultation procedures, the report welcomes the successful partnership approach adopted in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It notes that there are some areas of concern, particularly as regards the financial resources of local authorities, their limited taxing powers and their dependence on government grants. It also underlines that there are ambiguities that need to be addressed in areas such as the lack of recognition of the right to local self-government in the law beyond the general powers granted by the Localism Act 2011, and the limitation of local authorities’ discretion to manage local affairs through the intervention

  • Ethnicity, Race and Inequality in the UK
    “This is simply a must-read book for all those who want to understand the UK in and Inequality Race Ethnicity, racial inequalities in British society. It provides an up-to-date and convincing case that we have a long way to go in terms of achieving racial justice.” John Solomos, University of Warwick Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Fifty years after the establishment of the Runnymede Trust and the Race Relations Act of 1968, which sought to end discrimination in public life, this accessible book provides commentary by some of the UK’s foremost scholars of race and ethnicity on data relating to a wide range of sectors of society, including employment, health, education, criminal justice, housing and representation in the arts and media. It explores what progress has been made, identifies those areas where inequalities remain stubbornly resistant to change and asks how our thinking around race and ethnicity has changed in an era of Islamophobia, Brexit and an increasingly diverse population.
