Abstract: Since devolution in 1998, it has become more difficult to collect comparable data across the four UK countries, particularly on NHS expenditure and waiting times. - NHS activity and health outcomes seem more dependent on how healthcare resources are deployed than higher levels of resources. - The most striking difference between the countries in 2002 was the shorter waiting times in England, which introduced enforced targets for waiting.
