It represents the findings from independent research commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care and funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Policy Research Programme (Ref: PRP ST-01-49). The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Policy Research Programme, NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care.
