The locations of the most active unconventional oil and gas regions overlap ecologically valuable and, in some cases, relatively intact natural habitats, but there are few detailed studies that comprehensively investigate local ecosystem services impacts of this recent activity.
The increasingly consumer focus, intent on giving viewers more of what they seem to want, has diluted the distinctiveness and public service impact of the BBC's television output.
Self-management has potential importance for reducing both the personal and health service impact of illness.
As in budget impact analyses [ 8], we focussed on the short-term health service impact of adopting technologies and generated results specific to the actual target population.
These scenarios were not intended to represent the only or preferred options, but rather were chosen to illustrate the health service impact of different possible approaches to implementation.
The few previous analyses of the health service impact of colorectal cancer screening [ 12, 52, 53] all noted that the ability of the health services to deliver sufficient endoscopy services was a crucial determinant of programme feasibility.
This paper reports on an evaluation of the second round of the Pilot in England (Weller et al, 2006); it provides detailed estimates of key outcome measures, including uptake of FOBt and colonoscopy, test positivity and detection rates of neoplasia, and a further analysis of the workforce and health service impact of bowel cancer screening.
However, none of these criteria take direct account of the public health and health service impact of a new drug (disease severity, patient group size and likely uptake); drugs in the highly innovative group include those for rare metabolic disorders and last line therapies as well as for diabetes mellitus and common malignancies.
In this study, the typical ecosystem service impacts of geothermal power projects are classified using the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services CICESS) typology.
On one hand, the ability to quantify and value the ecosystem service impacts of alternative restoration scenarios has never been greater and the information produced from these tools can be used to help decision makers compare alternative restoration strategies to meet an increasingly diverse set of restoration goals.
