Description These profiles are designed to assist GPs, consortia and PCTs to ensure that they are providing and commissioning effective and appropriate healthcare services for their local population. The profiles contain information that can be used for commissioning, for local needs assessment, for monitoring of population health and service use, and for clinical governance reviews. Specifically, there is information on: local demographics, estimated prevalence rates, Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) indicators, admission rates and patient satisfaction.

Description Findings from a national sample survey of parents of disabled children. The primary purpose of the survey is to measure parental experience of services for disabled children, and provides the 2008-09 baseline for the national performance indicator 5 for the Public Service Agreement on Child Health and Wellbeing (PSA 12). The secondary purpose of the survey is to provide baselines in 30 local authority areas for the National Indicator Set for local authorities (NI 54), and also NHS Vital Signs indicators for Primary Care Trusts (VSC33) in PCT areas which have boundaries exactly coterminous with these LA areas. The data is being collected through a questionnaire to parents asking for their views of health, social care and education services for their disabled child as experienced in the preceding 12 months. The framework for the questionnaire is the Aiming High for Disabled Children core offer standards on information, transparency, assessment, participation and feedback. The data will provide an overall national figure on parental experience (between 0 and 100). The data will also provide an overall local figure on parental experience for 30 local areas participating in the first data collection.

The following data sources are used to generate the modelled estimates: Age, gender, LSOA and ethnicity were derived from the General Lifestyle Survey (GLF, 2008), a survey of private households in Great Britain; Local authority (2009 structure) and Strategic Health Authority (2004 structure) were added using LSOA code and look-ups from the relevant Standard Names and Codes (SNAC) database. SNAC is released annually, by ONS and includes information up to the end of December; Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), 2008/09; Public Health mortality file, ONS, 2006 to 2008; Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), by LSOA 2007; Mid-year 2007 population estimates: Estimated resident population by ethnic group, age bands (16-19, 20-25,…,70-74, 75+) and sex (April 2009 release), Office of National Statistics (ONS).

Description Mortality from causes considered amenable to health care: directly standardised rate, <75 years, 3-year average. To help reduce deaths from causes considered amenable to health care. Causes of death are included if there is evidence that they are amenable to healthcare interventions and – given timely, appropriate, and high quality care – death rates should be low among the age groups specified. Healthcare intervention includes preventing disease onset as well as treating disease. Two additional indictors are provided: ‘mortality from causes considered amenable to health care (exc Ischaemic heart disease)’ and ‘mortality from causes other than those considered amenable to health care’. The difference between amenable and non-amenable causes in their trends over time may provide evidence of the increasing (or decreasing) effectiveness of health care.

Description The rate includes all conceptions under 18 but uses the female population aged 15-17 as a denominator to calculate the rate (as 95% of under 18 conceptions occur within this age group). Conception rate: This is defined as the number of conceptions under 18 per 1000 females aged 15-17.

Description Data on teenage conceptions at ward level has been analysed by quintiles and are presented as maps to illustrate the variation whilst avoiding the risk of disclosing information on individuals. Under 18 conception rates at ward level were produced by aggregating the number of conceptions to all girls aged under 18 over three year periods (2000-2002 and 2001-2003) and calculating the rate as the number of conceptions per 1,000 women aged 15-17 resident in the area using the mid year ward population estimates. Quintiles were then produced by ranking ward level under 18 conceptions rates from the lowest to highest at National level and then allocating wards to one of five equal groups based on the total number of wards. Quintile 1 therefore includes wards with the lowest rates, whilst quintile 5 includes wards with the highest rates in England and Wales.

Description This indicator measures the number of adults aged 18-64/65+ per 1,000 population that are assisted directly through social services assessed/care planned, funded support to live independently, plus those supported through organisations that receive social services grant funded services. The indicator will be age standardised and, if possible, adjusted for likely needs for social care services using needs-weighted population data produced from Relative Needs Formula (RNF) allocation calculations. Issues remain on potential double counting between assessed services and grant funded services and within grant funded services that need to be resolved.

Description The rate of delayed transfers of care from all NHS hospitals per 100,000 population aged 18+. A delayed transfer of care occurs when a patient is ready for transfer from a hospital bed, but is still occupying such a bed. A patient is ready for transfer when: [a] a clinical decision has been made that the patient is ready for transfer AND; [b] a multi-disciplinary team decision has been made that the patient is ready for transfer AND; [c] the patient is safe to discharge/transfer. This therefore measures the ability of the whole system to ensure appropriate discharge for the whole population passing through hospital and is an indicator of the effectiveness of the interface between health and social care services.
