In response to US colleagues' concerns about the NHS, we undertook a comparison of mortality rates in England and Wales and the US. Figures for 1974-2000 were obtained from World Health Organization data on all-cause and cancer mortality rates. Overall rates fell in all three countries but there was a more significant drop in England and Wales over the period. This is a summary: the full paper can be accessed at nursingtimes.net.
