Historical revision 

The estimates for the 2004 SHS are based on new weights derived from the
2001 Census. Revised data for the 2003 SHS are now available, and are
used in this article. Revised data for preceding years will be released
shortly. Although the effect of the revisions in most cases is small, it
is recommended that data users making historical comparisons take them
into account. 

The historical revision is the result of two modifications. First, all
estimates back to 1997 are being adjusted to use new annual population
estimates based on the 2001 Census. Secondly, the method of calculating
survey weights has been modified and standardised for all years from
1997 onward.
