H. Huang et al.

Summary: The study focused on the organization and perceived impact of GP clusters in Scotland, examining how they utilize quantitative data for improvement.

Summary: Based on a 2010 analysis of adult social care reform and costs commissioned by Downing Street and the UK Department of Health, this paper outlines projected future costs under different reform scenarios and reviews the actual situation from 2010-19.
