This QualityWatch Focus On report examines the typical distances
from home that people travel to receive emergency care, and how this has
changed over time. It explores the distances between a person’s home
and the hospital at which they attended A&E, or received an emergency
inpatient admission, using Hospital Episode Statistics from the 10-year
period from 2001/02 to 2011/12.

This tool aims to help local authorities identify causes of death that contribute most to their life expectancy gaps and, therefore, enable them to target interventions appropriately. It provides charts and tables which segment the life expectancy gap from January 2009 to December 2011 by the major causes of death. A summary report is also available for each upper tier local authority.
