OHE Compendium of Health Statistics, 16th edition 2004-05
Author: Peter Yuen
Publisher: Office for Health Economics
The annual OHE Compendium of Health Statistics is the one stop statistical information source on population and health trends in the UK, and the changing finances and structure of the NHS. The Compendium is compiled independently by the Office of Health Economics, drawing data together from a variety of scattered sources.
The disparate data, some spanning more than 50 years, is consolidated into tables and graphs which are quicker and easier to use than most other information sources.
The Compendium contains nearly 300 easy to use, high quality tables and charts, with full commentary and explanatory notes provided. The Compendium is available in both print and on-line versions, as a convenient desk top reference.
