16. EDUCATIONAL DISADVANTAGE Local Area Initiatives Health Education Higher Education Access Routes Educational Disadvantage Growing-up in Ireland Environment National Development Programme Statistical Methods The Department for Education (UK) calculates the level of school deprivation from the numbers of children living in families in each Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) who receive tax credits. However, as below figures show, not taking into account the selective nature of school intakes may lead to misleading specification. http://www.significancemagazine.org/details/webexclusive/1311633/School-funding-and-deprivation.html

18. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Local Area Initiatives Health Education Environment Environmental Impact Assessment National Transport Planning National Development Programme Statistical Methods “We found a clear socioeconomic gradient in respiratory disease mortality (Fig. 2). At each level of PM10 exposure, risk of respiratory disease mortality increased with increasing socioeconomic deprivation, after control for relevant individual- and area-level covariates. We found significant inequality, with the most deprived CAUs having over 1.7 times the risk of respiratory disease mortality than the most affluent areas.” Is particulate air pollution associated with health and health inequalities in New Zealand?

21. RESOURCE ALLOCATION MODELS Local Area Initiatives Health Education Environment National Development Programme Statistical Methods Resource Allocation Models Sampling Methodologies for Household Surveys Small Area Estimation “A central problem in the health service generally and children’s services in particular is the lack of a Resource Allocation Model (RAM). Having a RAM is important, for it determines what human and financial resources should be allocated and where according to objective criteria designed to meet measured need.” Harvey, B. A Way Forward for Delivering Children’s Services, Barnardos, March 2011 “The question posed by the study was: „Given the national spend on the health services, and existing allocation between services, how should the budget for each service be divided between PCCC areas in order to support access to services in rough proportion to the need for these services in each area?' The current system does not allocate resources in a way that addresses this question. Staines, A. et al. Towards the development of a Resource Allocation Model for Primary, Continuing and Community Care in the Health Services, HRB, 2010 The 2009 Resource Allocation Model introduced a new formula to take account of the extension of the programme which, after the conclusion of the cohesion process, now covers all 32 Local Authority Areas. Given the new unified structures and additional constraints arising from the tighter budgetary situation since the coming to an end of the economic boom, it is now felt that the allocations made under the LCDP should take into account other allocations made to the same areas, specifically those under the LEADER and Local Employment Services (LES) programmes.
