2. Context
It’s not all about the money but….. South Gloucestershire CCG is the 8th lowest funded CCG in the England in per capita terms. While there’s been progress towards tackling the structural deficit that the CCG inherited, we reported a deficit of £6.7m last year. More than half of the adults in South Gloucestershire are overweight, raising their risk of developing diabetes and other long term conditions. Health care for patients with a single long-term condition currently costs on average £3,000 per year whilst for those with three or more conditions costs nearly £8,000 per year. The CCG receives £997 per head of population. Rising life expectancy is an enormous challenge for South Gloucestershire. By 2018, there is expected to be a 26% rise in the very elderly (over 85s) and 11% in the elderly (over 65s)
