Health can mean different things to different people. The World Health Organisation (WHO.,1948) defined health as ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’. It can be viewed positively, as the ability to do something or a positive state of well-being, or negatively, focusing on the absence of illness or disease (Wills, J., 2007). The WHO definition takes into account the whole person and does not just focus on their physical health. It focuses on the person holistically and acknowledges that one can be healthy even with a disease or physical impairment and conversely, one is not healthy just because there is no diagnosable pathology (Wills, J., 2007).
(Davey et al, 1984) The dictionary defines the word health as: "the condition of the body and the degree to which it is free from illness, or the state of being well" (www.cambridge.org.uk accessed 28/1/07) Good health is a mixture of physical, mental, emotional and social wellbeing. Health and illness can be defined in many different ways, the holistic concept of health would be viewed as being healthy and having no physical disorders or diseases, and also being emotionaly comfortable. A person who maybe feels anxious or suffers from low self esteem would, according to this theory not be well. People with this view tend to label themselves ill when they suffer from what may be classed as minor symptons such as tiredness, not just phsyical discomfort or pain. (Smithson,2005) A positive concept towards health and illness could be defined as believing that being healthy is a state which is achieved through continual effort.
The Factors that Affect Health Status and Patterns of Ill Health P3: Describe current patterns of health and how they are monitored – Patterns of ill health in the UK are monitored through the use of statistics. The UK National Statistic organisation is responsible for producing these statistics in order to illustrate and identify patterns of ill health within the UK. Government statistical departments play a vital role in identifying and monitoring patterns of ill health in the UK, of which include: * The Department of Health * Health and Safety Executive * NHS Information Centre for Health and Social Care Statistics can be collected from records such as birth certificates, the death register and hospital admissions records. Records can be used for further analysis in order to gain more specific information, for example the weight of a new-born baby, or the reason an individual was admitted into hospital. The government has made the use of having these records available a legal requirement so that the statistics may be available when they are required.

Public Health and Health Policy Public health action aims to improve the health and well-being of the population, prevent disease whilst minimising its consequences, prolonging life as well as reducing inequalities in health (Orme et al 2003). In the context of public health, homelessness is a major social and public health issue affecting the wider population in the UK (Wilson & Mabhala, 2009), and stakeholders involved. This is due to the identifiable need for housing evidence by the number of people homeless, the various health issues related, including mental health, to homelessness and the risk it can have for public health that will be discussed in this essay. Homelessness is increasing over time and is thought to have implications for both the public health and the healthcare service, particularly as related to the hard to reach nature of this population (Babatsikou, 2010). As such, this essay will identify and discuss the health problems and health service issues associated with homelessness.

Let us examine the evolution of health care delivery as it pertains to managed care. What is managed care? Managed care is the collaboration of suppliers and payers into a single organization developed to manage health care costs by monitoring accessible care and utilization of services within a particular population (Corder, et.al, 1996).
