Looking at this orthogonally, I was puzzled by
the reference to England here and wondered whether
this reflected a common confusion between England
and the (unfortunately named) United Kingdom.
Further search indicated that there is not only a
Health Survey for England
but also a Welsh Health Survey
and a Scottish Health Survey.
I am unable to say to say whether the people of Northern
Ireland are covered by something else.
All this, by the way, has nothing to do with Chris' question.
