“…Some factors are due to the complexity of patients' behaviour, as demonstrated by Harrington et al (2012) and Lewis and Longley (2012), which use health care utilization data to characterize the relationship between potential and realized access and identify factors that relate to utilization. As opposed to these two studies, and still other sophisticated access studies, like, for example, the ones of Clarke et al (2002), which quantifies patterns of access using household expenditure data, and Birkin et al (2005), which models variations in health care utilization, this paper focuses on potential access analysis.…”

Spatial analyses and competition assessments can be used by firms to identify target geographic markets for entry. By integrating these two kinds of analysis, this paper presents an innovative method that identifies target geographic markets for health care providers. In these target markets, supply is potentially insufficient to satisfy demand and competition problems that make entry unsuccessful are not expected to occur. Considering the Portuguese hospital health care market, an application of the method in a case study illustrates how the method works in practice.

“…As a result the majority of current geodemographic classifications have been produced in the commercial sector; examples include ACORN, MOSAIC, PinPoint and Super Profiles. The use of these commercial datasets is growing in the public health sector (eg, Aveyard et al ., 2002; Birkin et al ., 2005; Powell et al ., 2007). Nevertheless, there are non-commercial classification systems, for example following the 2001 censuses ONS produced an entirely new, census-based geodemographic classification of OAs, which is freely available (Vickers and Rees, 2007).…”

The aim of this article is to provide UK-based primary health care research and development workers with a review of the current range of published, aggregated sociodemographic indicators that can be combined with health and health care datasets, for the purposes of monitoring locality health profiles and planning primary health care. Non-UK readers should nevertheless find the review of some relevance to their own national contexts. Background: There is an increasing range of resources available for such purposes and many of these datasets are equally useful outside of geographic work. The 2001 census introduced important changes to what routine data are available, as will the 2011 census. These changes have been paralleled by developments in the availability of socio-demographic indicators and the increasing popularity of geographic information systems. Health data can now be combined with those from socio-demographic more efficiently to produce what are termed value-added datasets. Methods: We review recent and planned developments in key data sources currently available in the UK and examine they can be used to monitor inequalities in primary health care inequalities and their role in the integration of primary health care needs mapping and forecasting with the spatial planning of areas undergoing regeneration. Conclusions: Recent and planned developments in the availability of both socio-demographic datasets in tandem with parallel developments in spatial technologies have provided a flexible, potent geographical methodology for primary health care research and development. The current consultation process for the 2011 census provides those involved with primary health care research and development an opportunity to influence future developments.

“…Longitudinal panel data have been used previously to measure the effect of competitive tendering on authorities' performance on individual services (eg McMaster, 1995;Szymanski, 1996), but not to model councils' overall performance. There is also a related literature that models health-service outcomes from small area data (eg Birkin et al, 2005).…”

Introduction One of the responsibilities of government is to deliver high-quality relevant services that meet the needs of citizens, communities, businesses, and other organisations. To do so, national governments have started to modernise their service offerings by introducing alternative delivery systems, inviting the independent sector to contribute to service provisions, and by enhancing their eGovernment capabilities, to mention a couple. This move has been accompanied by the development of sophisticated schemes to monitor and oversee how well the services are delivered. Given that, in most industrialised economies, public sector current expenditure represents between 35% and 50% (in the case of the UK, 38.5%) of gross domestic product (GDP), and that prosperous states in particular have come under increasing fiscal pressure to cut their spending, the desire by policy makers (and tax payers) to evaluate what the public money buys is comprehensible, if not obligatory, to establish accountability. Oversight has a long tradition in many countries and refers to scrutiny and steering from some point`above' or`outside' the individuals or organisations assessed. Traditionally, scrutiny has been effectuated by law courts or elected legislatures, but increasing
