Health Board Restructuring in 2006

Health Board data produced on SCROL does not reflect the dissolution, in April 2006, of  the 'Argyll & Clyde' NHS Board Area.  

This resulted in the creation of the new 'Highland' NHS Board Area and 'Greater Glasgow & Clyde' NHS Board Area.

If you require data for the new NHS Board Areas you should  produce the same table for the Council Area 'Argyll & Bute' and then perform the following calculation:

 

New Health Board Area
Method
'Highland' NHS Board Area
=
Old (smaller) 'Highland' NHS Board Area + 'Argyll & Bute' Council Area.
 
 
'Greater Glasgow & Clyde'
=
Old 'Greater Glasgow' NHS Board Area + Old 'Argyll & Clyde' NHS Board Area - 'Argyll & Bute'
NHS Board Area
Council Area.

 

 

 

 

Please Note: These calculations cannot be applied to some migration or travel data or to any percentages in tables (click here for tables which are affected in this way).
