Editors'
acknowledgements
We wish to thank, first of all, all those who gave up
their time to be interviewed and who welcomed interviewers and nurses
into their homes. We would also like to acknowledge the debt the survey's
success owes to the commitment and professionalism of the interviewers
and nurses who worked on the survey throughout the year.
We would like to thank all those colleagues who contributed to the survey
and this report. In particular we would like to thank:
- The authors of all three volumes published in the Health Survey
for England 2002 series: Margaret Blake, Claire Deverill, Melanie
Doyle, Bob Erens, Emanuela Falaschetti,
Barry Hedges, Kirsten Herrick, Yvonne Kelly, Katie Malbut, Emmanuel
Stamatakis and
Heather Wardle.
- Other research colleagues, in particular Joe Hewton,
Michelle Lee, Alison Moody,
Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Alison Prescott, Gillian Prior,
Susan Purdon and Shaun Scholes.
- Operations staff, especially Marian Bolden, Lesley
Mullender, Sue Roche, and the Area Managers.
- The principal programmers: Ian McAleese, Jo Periam

We would also like to express our thanks to the staff
of the Department of Clinical Biochemistry at the Royal Victoria Infirmary
in Newcastle upon Tyne for their helpfulness and efficiency.
Last, but certainly not least, we wish to express our appreciation of
the work of Department of Health staff at all stages of the project
and in particular the contribution made by Richard Bond, Dr Sunjai Gupta
and Patrick Tucker.
