It included four aspects, i.e., social and economic development, resource reduction input, resource recycling and ecological environment, as well as 16 indexes. The development level of the agricultural circular economy in China between 1991 and 2012 was evaluated and analyzed by using the comprehensive multi-index model method. The results illustrated that the development levels of the agricultural circular economy in China and its three major regions of eastern region, middle region and western region exhibited rising trends. Investment of reduced resources has become a bottleneck restricting the development of agricultural circular economy in China. There was an obvious regional difference of the development level of the agricultural circular economy in China.

The linear ordering of counties was created in 2004, 2007 and 2015 years. The choice of years was related with the accession of Poland to the EU and the end of the first and second periods of EU funding. Based on the research conducted, it was found, that counties are strongly differentiated in terms of living conditions and population changes. In most of the poviats, the population has increased and living standards improved. Assessment of living conditions of the inhabitants of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship counties was presented in a dynamic way, considering population change. An original proposition of indicators measuring living conditions in a local approach was presented. Local authorities can take advantage of research results in decision making concerning improvement of social and economic development level in Voivodeship.

Improve Health

Until recently the provision of health care within prisons was the sole responsibility of the prison service. The Prison Health Service (formerly known as the Prison Medical Service) is the oldest civilian medical service in Britain. In addition to being much older than the NHS the Prison Health Service is much smaller, less well developed and less well resourced. Prison health care was coordinated by the Directorate of Health Care at the Home Office; the Department of Health and the NHS had no direct input. As a result, prisoners were afforded a standard of health care well below that provided by the NHS, and without radical reform there was little prospect of improvement. However, in recent years things have begun to change and last year collaboration between the prison service and the NHS resulted in the creation of a partnership between these two organisations (Joint Prison Service and NHS Executive Working Group, 1999). Although the intention is to improve health care standards for prisoners, the formal nature of this partnership also has the effect of making the NHS more directly responsible for health care in prisons.
