Changes in amenable mortality for men and women for every £500 additional per person investment in National Health Service (NHS) services, by local authority quintile of deprivation

Local authority deprivation quintile	Change in amenable mortality rate per 100 000 population for every £500 per head additional NHS funding allocation (95% CI)
Local authority deprivation quintile	Males	P values	Females	P values
First quintile (20% least deprived)	7.5 (−6.5 to 21.0)	0.30	3.0 (−7.5 to 13.0)	0.59
Second quintile	2.0 (−11.5 to 15.0)	0.79	1.5 (−7.5 to 10.0)	0.76
Third quintile	1.5 (−10.5 to 13.5)	0.80	−1.5 (−10.0 to 7.0)	0.72
Fourth quintile	−2.5 (−15.0 to 10.5)	0.72	−1.5 (−10.0 to 7.0)	0.72
Fifth quintile (20% most deprived)	−13.0 (−1.5 to 25.0)	0.03	−7.0 (−14.5 to 1.0)	0.09
