This report covers the findings from the fourth year of the Healthy living centres evaluation.

Health departments across the UK have identified reducing deaths from cancer and improving cancer services as a priority. The Fund's cancer initiative was launched in 1999 and will run until 2005. It was developed in response to targets and important areas for action set out for each country of the UK.
This evaluation report commences with a description of the various methods and tools used as the methodology to generate information to complete the evaluation. It then provides a review of the policy rationale and aims for the programme to provide context for the evaluation.
