Data Supplement
The Data Supplement to this report provides more detailed statistical analysis
of responses to the anaesthetic and surgical questionnaires.
Due to the focus of the 1999 report, children and the elderly, two distinct
sets of questionnaires were sent out to the participants. A separate analysis
of responses to each questionnaire is available below. Each of the following
sections should be read in conjunction with the full report.
