The Office of National Statistics (ONS) has published Public service productivity : health, which builds on the first health productivity publication in October 2004. The article discusses various methodologies and measures of quality improvements in the National Health Service. It estimates the change in productivity associated with public expenditure on health using National Accounts data from 1995 to 2004, in the context of wider information about health spending, output, outcomes and measurement issues. The main publication has a complementary technical article on sources and methods.
