Review of orthopaedic services: Prepared for the Auditor General for Scotland. March 2010
Review of orthopaedic services: Prepared for the Auditor General for Scotland. March 2010. Website http://www.audit-scotland.gov.uk/media/article.php?id=128
"In recent years, the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland has significantly reduced the length of time people are waiting to receive orthopaedic procedures such as hip replacements and knee operations. Over 95% of patients are now treated within 26 weeks of referral, compared to only 66% in 2003. But there is scope to make savings by working more efficiently. An Audit Scotland report, Review of orthopaedic services, says there is high demand for these services. Orthopaedic care is particularly important for older people, who have the highest rates of fractures and joint replacement."

The Mental Health Act (England and Wales)
This was passed in 1983, and amended in 2007. . It is rather long and detailed. It allows for the compulsory admission of those who are mentally ill. In practical circumstances, doctors and social workers will try to persuade patients to be admitted voluntarily, but in some circumstances, you may have to ‘section’ them to allow treatment against their will. The most important parts are 2,3,4,5 & 135 and 136.

Non-parametric statistical tests for two independent groups: numerical data
Researchers described the outcomes at one year for a national cohort of infants with gastroschisis. A prospective cohort study design was used. Participants were 301 liveborn infants with gastroschisis between October 2006 and March 2008 from all 28 paediatric surgical centres in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The aim of the study was to describe outcomes at one year, comparing infants with simple gastroschisis (intact, uncompromised, and continuous bowel) with those with complex gastroschisis (bowel perforation, necrosis, or atresia). The main outcome measures included duration of parenteral nutrition and length of stay in hospital.1
