"The Health of the Nation" (Hansard, 14 March 1995)

HC Deb 14 March 1995 vol 256 c543W 543W

§ 17. Mr. David Evans
To ask the Secretary of Sate for Health what conclusions she has reached about the "The Health of the Nation" from the 1991 census.

§ Mr. Sackville
The 1991 census predates the publication in July 1992 of the Government's health strategy "The Health of the Nation". However, census data help in establishing a good baseline for accurate population estimates. These are used in calculating incidence and mortality rates, enabling "The Health of the Nation" targets to be accurately measured.
