 In order to map out the concept of ‘health poverty’, a large number of innovative variables have been created. Because the object of the project was to provide a graphical summary of the situation of ‘health poverty’, the data development principle applied has been one of maximum access to information rather than maximum precision in the data. If we had not applied this principle, there would have been very few indicators available in the timeframe of the project. We do not believe the data is inaccurate but as with all new indicators, some caution should be applied when using them. We have given full descriptions of how the variables were generated and so the user can judge how much weight they would like to place on any one indicator.
