Health education and promotion spending in England: a note on the potential utility of the Health Service Indicators dataset.
Health promotion and education (HPE) needs to be evaluated on a national scale. This note draws attention to the existence, possible uses and pitfalls of a little known dataset which provides information on English district health authorities' HPE expenditure for the first time. Despite its problems, cautious uses of this data has the potential to significantly increase the knowledge and understanding of local level HPE in England.
