Abstract

Latest estimates show that publicly funded health care output in the UK grew by 3.3 per cent in 2006 and by 3.2 per cent in 2007.

The estimate of average annual growth of publicly funded health care output between 1995 and 2007 is 3.8 per cent.

These new estimates take account of:

• the change in the categorisation of health activity between 2005/06 and 2006/07 to allow the existing series to be updated to 2007

• an improvement to the way in which drugs are treated as part of GPs' output

• an estimate of quality adjusted output for 2006, which was not previously available, and a forecast quality adjusted output for 2007
