    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.

    Local Government Review in the Teesdale District Council Area, County Durham

    Local Government Review in the Teesdale District Council Area, County Durham Research Study Conducted for The Boundary Committee for England April 2004 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of Key Findings 5 Methodology 7 Definitions of Social Grade and Area 11 Topline Findings (Marked-up Questionnaire) 13 Introduction This summary report presents the key findings of research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England in the Teesdale District Council area, County Durham. The aim of the research was to establish residents’ views about alternative patterns of unitary local government. Background to the Research In May 2003, the Government announced that a referendum would take place in autumn 2004 in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions on whether there should be elected regional assemblies. The Government indicated that, where a regional assembly is set up, the current two-tier structure of local government - district, borough or city councils (called in this report ‘districts’) and county councils - should be replaced by a single tier of ‘unitary’ local authorities. In June 2003, the Government directed The Boundary Committee for England (‘the Committee’) to undertake an independent review of local government in two-tier areas in the three regions, with a view to recommending possible unitary structures to be put before affected local people in a referendum at a later date. MORI was commissioned by COI Communications, on behalf of the Committee, to help it gauge local opinion. The research was in two stages. First, in summer 2003, MORI researched local residents’ views about local government and how they identify with their local community.
  • Infant Mortality and Social Progress in Britain, 1905-2005 Danny Dorling

    Infant Mortality and Social Progress in Britain, 1905-2005 Danny Dorling

    Chapter 11 Infant Mortality and Social Progress in Britain, 1905-2005 Danny Dorling1 Introduction In Britain by the end of the nineteenth century it became evident that birth rates were falling and infant mortality was rising. This lead to a rapid decline in ‘natality’ and consequently to a fall in the supply of ‘infants for Empire’. By 1905, and in a remarkably apposite observation, the medical officer for health in Battersea wrote that within Britain: England is now regarded as the nucleus of a great Empire, with colonies which, though vast in extent are poor in population, and the fact must be faced that in view of our declining natality, the stream of emigrants that formally left our shores cannot be expected to continue (McCleary, 1905, quoted in Dwork, 1987: 6) At century later, in 2005, there was great concern among some without imagination over a stream of immigrants coming to our shores. McCleary did not see that far ahead but in the century since he wrote it has become clear that fertility, mortality, natality and migration are all intimately linked over the course of lifetimes. However, society in Britain is still arranged very much in a hierarchy from those who ‘think they know best’ to those who are ‘not to be trusted’. For instance, medical officers still treat much of the population with suspicion as became evident when the Department of Health, in 2005, said that, rather than increase benefit levels, mothers should be paid to eat, and give their infants to eat, ‘healthy start food’; however, mothers could not be trusted to do this without vouchers requiring a statutory instrument laid before parliament.

    Making Sense of SEN Special Educational Needs a Guide for Donors and Grant-Makers

    Making sense of SEN Special educational needs a guide for donors and grant-makers February 2004 Written by David Boyle and Eleanor Burton Making Sense of SEN February 2004 Sector: Education Sub-sector: Special Educational Needs Executive Summary This report provides a guide to grant-makers and donors seeking to understand and support children with special educational needs. Its findings show how well- placed philanthropy can have a significant effect on the lives of a large number of children. One child in six in England has special educational needs, which range from requiring additional support from their teacher in the classroom to requiring permanent full-time care. The number of children is growing in certain categories. Children who are not receiving adequate educational provision risk impairing their academic, personal and social development, which shape their life-chances and the contribution that they are capable of making to society. Central Government expresses commitment to special educational needs, alongside their education policy commitment, and much has been done in recent years. However, there remain significant numbers of children not receiving all the support they require in the most appropriate fashion due to inconsistent local delivery. Inadequate support is in part due to inevitable funding constraints. The involvement of government in special educational needs should not deter donors. We have identified a number of roles for the voluntary sector which are essential if children are to achieve their potential more fully. These are additional to the responsibilities of schools. Including all children in mainstream schools has created additional tension in the system. The teaching expertise and confidence required to address the needs of all children has not always been well provided for in the mainstream schools.
