An update on development of pilot UK Health Accounts
Data released as part of the pilot UK Health Accounts project currently include experimental total UK health expenditure for the calendar years 1997-2001 and a breakdown by purpose, provider and financer for the financial year 1999/2000.
This article provides an update on work by ONS to develop Health Accounts for the United Kingdom. It also provides a description of methods used in compiling experimental total UK health expenditure figures for calendar years 1997-2001 and the experimental Health Account for the UK for the financial year 1999/2000.
This work was originally announced in the June 2001 issue of Economic Trends (No. 571) and in Health Statistics Quarterly 10. Previous updates along with some data appeared in the February 2002 issue of Economic Trends (No 579), in Health Statistics Quarterly 13 and in an online release of experimental total UK health expenditure figures on 12 February 2002.
