Note:

North Yorkshire District Health Authority was formed on 1 December 1992 by the amalgamation of Northallerton, York, Scarborough, Harrogate and part of Airedale District Health Authority. Data for 1987–92 inclusive have therefore been estimated by adding data for those DHAs. It is not possible to produce data for the exact statutory boundary of North Yorkshire DHA as part of Airedale DHA is now within Bradford DHA.
