↵a The England means and SIIs are measured in terms of average primary care quality, preventable hospitalisation per 100 000, and amenable mortality per 100 000.
↵b The percentage of patients with diabetes achieving the QOF indicator for good glycaemic control. The RIIs are the SIIs as a proportion of the England means. The inequality gaps refer to the average quality loss attributable to inequality, the total excess hospitalisations attributable to inequality, and the total excess mortality attributable to inequality. QOF = Quality and Outcomes Framework. RII = relative index of inequality. SII = slope index of inequality.
