The new Public Health Outcomes Framework focuses on two high-level outcomes: increased healthy life expectancy and reducing differences in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy between communities. Supporting indicators are organised into four domains: wider determinants of health; health improvement; health protection; and preventing premature mortality.

An update has been made to the NHS Atlas of Variation. This expands the number of indicators available, increases the number of programme budget categories, begins to look at time trends and contains advice to commissioners and providers on resources to reduce variation. The purpose of the atlas is to stimulate a search for unwarranted variation in healthcare.

Updated cancer fact sheets have been produced by NYCRIS. They look at incidence and mortality from 2004 to 2008 at PCT level.
