Abstract: | In England and Wales, the quantity and quality of renal services have improved significantly in the last decade. While acceptance
rates for renal replacement therapy appear low by international standards, they are now commensurate with many other northern
European countries. The major growth in renal services has been in hemodialysis, especially at satellite units. Health care
is predominantly publicly funded through a tax-based National Health Service, and such funding has increased in the last 10 years.
Improvements in health outcomes in England and Wales are expected to continue due to the recent implementation of standards,
initiatives, and monitoring mechanisms for renal transplantation, vascular access, and patient transport.
