    Open AccessColin A Beckworth, Colin Beckworth et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2015Cited by: 1References: 9

    BACKGROUND: Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) is a classification method that enables local health staff to assess health programmes for which they are responsible.

This allowed examination of more than one type of marker simultaneously, facilitating both comparisons between markers and also evaluatio…

The workforce itself is also diversifying, with an increase in female participation, a growing number of dual‐earner couples and olde…
