This report is part of ongoing work by the Nuffield Trust to investigate the impact of devolution on the UK's health services. It began with the Constitution Unit's investigation in 1997, whose final report was published as Devolution and Health.

The aim of the current project is to build on the earlier work on devolution and health by monitoring, as devolution becomes a reality, the effects on the different health services, the professionals and managers who work within them, and the other 'stakeholders' with whom they need to work. In contrast to the earlier study, which did not investigate the situation in Northern Ireland, this monitoring project covers all four countries of the United Kingdom.
