6. The patch .. and its people
250,000

Students ++
Migration
Rising birth rate
A tale of two cities …

7. Key health needs
The “big killers” are still killing – heart disease, stroke and cancer
but survivorship is improving - cancer, chronic lung disease
More people are living longer with long term conditions
but there is often an extended period of poorer health / disability / dependency … and many are lonely
Lifestyle factors are holding back health improvement – choices, compulsions and addictions
Living circumstance are lowering life chances – incomes, skills deficits, housing / tenure, social cohesion, vulnerable families
Mental distress and ill health is common
Young people’s health and wellbeing is poorer than it could and should be – compared nationally and internationally
although improving, educational attainment and teenage pregnancy remain key challenges
The health gap is not narrowing fast enough

8. Problems
High numbers of people in relative and absolute socioeconomic disadvantage (40%)
A legacy of low skills and low educational attainment
Constrained housing, affecting elderly and families
Falling household incomes relative to the rest of England, the South East and comparator cities
Welfare benefits “reforms
Local authority grant reductions
Smoking continues to kill too many people
Activity and diet – we need to improve
Dental health of children remains poor
Teenage pregnancy rates are high
Alcohol misuse is causing more ill health
Stress and depression is very common
There are still big health differences across the City

12. Marmot’s Six recommendations Marmot 2010 Fair Society, Healthy Lives
The JSNA themes embrace all the Marmot recommendations
A - Give every child the best start in life
B - Enable all children, young people and adults to maximise their capabilities and have control over their lives
C - Create fair employment and good work for all
D - Ensure healthy standard of living for all
E - Create and develop healthy sustainable places and communities
F - Strengthen the role and impact of ill health prevention
The nine themes dovetail into the Marmot recommendations.
Marmot published an influential report in 2010 which proposed an evidence based strategy to address the fact that the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age impact on their health. It draws attention to the fact that most people in England are not living as long as the most well-off in society etc. It states that it is not sufficient to just focus on the bottom 10% because there are poorer outcomes all the way down from the top.

13. IMD (2015) – Map of ENGLAND Deprivation Deciles

14. IMD (2015) – Analysis of Changes since 2010
Southampton has become relatively more deprived
Of the 326 LAs in England….
Southampton ranked 54th (previously 72nd) most deprived LA based on average rank of LSOAs
Southampton ranked 67th (previously 81st) most deprived LA based on average score of LSOAs

16. What is in the JSNA? www.publichealth.southampton.gov.uk/jsna
Data analysis of over 500 indicators across 31 distinct topics
Information on services, stakeholder views, what works and recommendations
Links to other resources e.g. mini needs assessments, profiles, national resources etc
The Southampton JSNA is an online resource and is structured so that each of the nine themes has sub-sections within it. These cover population needs, services, evidence about what works etc.

17. Improving Southampton’s Health
Improving economic wellbeing
Improving mental health
Early years
Taking responsibility for health
Long term conditions
More years, better lives
Creating a healthier environment
Improving safeguarding
Protecting people
The result of the stakeholder views were to come up with these nine themes. These still exist today as the structure for the Southampton JSNA.

20. Tackling health inequalities
Health inequalities exist and are persisting in Southampton
Acheson Report (1998) & Marmot Review (2010)
Social gradient to health inequalities
Annual cost of health inequalities is £36 billion through lost taxes, welfare and NHS costs
Health inequalities monitored in the city by comparing the 20% most deprived and 20% least deprived areas as defined by the IMD (2010)
Overall health has improved but, significant gradient remains:
Inequality gap of 10 years in life expectancy and 18 years in healthy life expectancy for men
Striking inequalities found for indicators relating to early years, oral health, morbidity and mortality
Marmot Review produced comprehensive review of the evidence for effective intervention
6 key policy areas proposed

24. Gap between most and least deprived quintiles

25. DPH Recommendations
Based on the best evidence available, the City’s Health and Wellbeing Board should develop a city-wide targeted programme of actions to tackle health inequalities due to wider social and environmental factors affecting the public’s health.
The Health and Wellbeing Board should make specific recommendations on urgent, high priority actions to be taken by the Council and the local NHS that will have the most impact in the short to medium term, based on findings in this report.
The local NHS, led by the Clinical Commissioning Group, should assess health inequalities that could be reduced by health service interventions, and develop deliverable plans to reduce these.
The Health and Wellbeing Board should use the opportunity of its next five-year strategy to prioritise actions that will reduce inequalities, improve overall health and create a fairer Southampton.

26. Going where the evidence tells us we should …
