An MSI Landscape report is a new concept - a short format report laid out as a Marketing Presentation. In hardcopy form, the report presents a pair of pages that discuss each report aspect or question shown in the Table of Contents. Thus the question Who are the Leading Hotel Groups in the UK? is supported by a graphic (in this case a pie chart showing market share of the leading chains) and by a table (in this case, the number of bedrooms and the number of hotels of 13 named groups, plus an entry covering the rest of the industry). The facing page states those Facts that you, as the person undertaking the presentation, would be expected to know - in this instance, five paragraphs covering the recent activities of the market leaders and pertinent bullet points to enable you to create a hard-hitting presentation.

The MSI Landscape range has proved to be extremely popular, both in the hardcopy format and in the additional PowerPoint electronic version - packaged ready for you to adapt to your needs or use immediately as a framework for presenting further analysis. MSI Landscapes are also purchased as an entry level report into a particular sector by marketing professionals, financial analysts, market researchers and business information professionals.

DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of this report, the following definitions apply:

A nursing home is a facility staffed by nurses 24 hours per day, which provides services for clients/patients requiring residential nursing care. Medical care continues to be the responsibility of the client's/patient's GP. The premises must be owned, managed or leased by the HPSS or a health care contract must exist between the HPSS and the owners of the premises for the provision of care.

Residential care homes for the elderly are staffed 24 hours a day, providing board and general care to elderly residents who require care and supervision in the circumstances where nursing care would normally be inappropriate. The premises must be owned, managed or leased by the HPSS or a health care contract must exist between the HPSS and the owners of the premises for the provision of care.

Residential accommodation in Northern Ireland is segmented into the following sectors:

* Statutory homes are those provided by the Health and Social Services Boards or Health and Social Services Trusts under the provisions of the Health and Personal Social Services (NI) Order 1972

* Voluntary homes are those registered as homes for persons in need, in accordance with the Registered Homes (NI) Order 1992. Voluntary organisation means any association carrying on or proposing to carry on activities otherwise than for the purpose of gain by the Association or by individuals thereof

* Private homes refer to those registered as homes for persons in need in accordance with the Registered Homes (NI) Order 1992

Nursing home figures refer to nursing homes registered under the Registered Homes (NI) Order 1992 and reflect facilities provided for all categories of people and includes the terminally ill being cared for in hospices.

All values are quoted at current prices unless otherwise specified.

MSI have a policy of rounding numbers from five up to the next significant figure. Consequently financial data may differ from source documents.
