Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

Executive summary Every Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) is now required to produce a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA). After it has published its first PNA, each HWB must publish a statement of revised assessment within three years of its previous publication. However, the HWB must make a revised assessment as soon as it is reasonably practicable after identifying any changes that have occurred since the previous assessment which may have an effect on the needs of the pharmaceutical services. The responsibility of producing a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) was transferred from Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) of the local authority in 2013 and each HWB had a statutory duty to produce an updated PNA by 1st April 2018. The PNA is a statement of needs for pharmaceutical service provision within the HWB area. This mapping of pharmaceutical services against local health needs will be used by NHS in its determination as to whether to approve applications to join the pharmaceutical list, under the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013, as well as applications to change existing services. It will enable local pharmaceutical service providers and commissioners to: • understand the pharmaceutical needs of the population • gain a clearer picture of pharmaceutical services currently provided • make appropriate decisions on applications for NHS pharmacy contracts • commission appropriate and accessible services from community pharmacies • clearly identify and address any local gaps in pharmaceutical services • target services to reduce health inequalities within local health communities The PNA was developed by a steering group. The group consisted of a wide range of stakeholders including representatives from Suffolk County Council, Suffolk Local Pharmaceutical Committee (LPC), Suffolk Local Medical Committee (LMC), Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and NHS England. Views on the current and potential future provision of pharmaceutical services were sought from residents of Suffolk and current pharmaceutical service providers in Suffolk, through the use of questionnaires. NHS Pharmaceutical Services in England NHS Pharmaceutical Services are provided by contractors on the pharmaceutical list held by NHS England. Types of provider are: • community pharmacy contractors, including distance-selling pharmacies • dispensing appliance contractors • local pharmaceutical service providers • dispensing doctors

Community pharmacies operate under a contractual framework agreed in 2005 which sets three levels of service: Essential services: Negotiated nationally. Provided from all pharmacies. Advanced Services: Negotiated nationally. Community pharmacists can choose to provide advanced services as long as they meet the requirements set out in the Secretary of State Directions. Enhanced services: Negotiated locally to address local health needs. Provided from selected pharmacies, specifically commissioned. This contractual framework enables NHS England to commission services to address local needs, while still retaining the pharmacies' traditional role dispensing medicine and access to support for self-care. Other commissioners such as CCGs and local authorities may also use this document to commission services, known as locally- commissioned services. Health in Suffolk Suffolk is a rural county in eastern England. It has borders with the counties of Cambridgeshire, Essex and Norfolk and a coastline facing the North Sea. Main urban areas in Suffolk include the county town of Ipswich and the large towns of Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft. Elsewhere in Suffolk, the population is located in smaller towns and villages and in more isolated settlements in the countryside. The population The current estimated population is 741,895 (mid-year estimate 2015). The population of Suffolk has grown by 3.1% since 2010 and is expected to increase 11% by 2039. This number is projected to rise to: • 777,900 by 2025 • 823,000 by 2039 The ageing population is an important feature of the demography of Suffolk and the proportion of older people in the county is rising. Those aged 65 to 84 will make up the largest proportion of the population by 2026. This group will continue to increase to 2039, when it is forecast to make up almost 25% of the population of Suffolk. In England, approximately 18% of the population is aged 65+ compared with 22.4% in Suffolk. Between 2015 and 2039, there are projected to be an additional 39,393 people aged 65 and over. This will undoubtedly have an impact on health and care services. A number of housing developments are planned for Suffolk and neighbouring areas, which will impact on the demand for health services. Of particular note are the current and planned developments in in the Mid Suffolk locality, Martlesham in the Suffolk Coastal locality, Ipswich Garden Suburb in the Ipswich locality and several sites in Bury St Edmunds in the St Edmundsbury locality.

The growing communities created by these neighbouring developments will require detailed and phased service-planning. The precise phasing of new housing is difficult to predict accurately. As this PNA will be reviewed within three years, considerations have been made into new housing growth planned until 2021/22. Suffolk has a number of care homes spread throughout the county. Due to the generally increased health needs of the elderly, consideration has also been made for future planned care home developments. The general increasing and ageing population will require flexible service delivery, particularly in rural communities. Provision from distance-selling pharmacies, prescription delivery services from existing community pharmacies and dispensing GP practices are current examples of this flexible service delivery. Health inequalities Suffolk has become relatively more deprived compared to other local authority areas in England since 2010. Only three counties/unitary authorities fell more places in the rankings than Suffolk. However, Suffolk continues to experience below-average levels of deprivation. Ipswich remains the most deprived local authority in Suffolk, being ranked 71st out of 326 Local Authorities (LAs) in England. It is also facing the greatest health inequalities and therefore the greatest health need. Particular populations which may have specific health needs include traveller populations, prisoners, minority ethnic communities and disabled people. The Gypsy and Traveller communities have a life expectancy rate that is 10 years lower than the rest of the population, and they have specific health problems and needs associated with respiratory disease, anxiety and depression. The first hidden report was published in 2011, and was updated in 2016. The new report includes data from the 2015 Index of Multiple Deprivation and the Social Mobility Index published in 2016 as well as the other indicators. The report highlights that Suffolk, on average, has lower rates of multiple deprivation than England but it includes some of the country’s most deprived neighbourhoods. Over 14% of neighbourhoods in Ipswich and 12% in Waveney are ranked among the most deprived 10% in England. The report also highlights areas of more rural deprivation that are bordered by areas or relative affluence. http://suffolkcf.org.uk/2016/09/hidden-needs- 2016/ Health in rural areas People living in rural areas tend to score higher on standard measures of health such as life expectancy and infant mortality. However, the distances patients have to travel to reach health services are greater and public transport may be limited. Much of the population has access to a car but certain groups, such as the economically disadvantaged and the elderly living alone, are less likely to have independent mobility.

The cost of providing services in rural areas is estimated to be significantly higher than the cost of providing services in urban areas. Suffolk’s rural population is older than its urban population and the proportion of older people in Suffolk’s rural population is increasing faster than the proportion of older people in urban areas. This trend, combined with the higher cost of providing services in rural areas, housing stock which is often difficult to heat and maintain, poor transport and more limited social networks, is likely to lead to high and increasing needs and costs for Suffolk’s rural population now and in the future. Health and illness Suffolk is generally a healthy place to live. The average life expectancy for Suffolk overall is higher than the national average for both males (80.7 compared with 79.5 years) and females (84.1 compared with 83.1 years). However, at PNA locality level there are two areas where life expectancy is lower for both males and females when compared with the Suffolk average: Ipswich (male 78.8, female 83.2 years) and Waveney (male 79.4, female 83.2 years). The mortality rates from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), stroke / Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) and cancer are generally lower than in England as a whole. Forest Heath, however, has a higher mortality rate associated with injuries in the under 75 years’ age group, with directly standardised rates per 100,000 population which are significantly higher (20.4/100,000) than the national average (12.2/100,000). The prevalence of asthma across the HWB area was on average 6.7% and all the CCGs had a significantly higher prevalence of asthma when compared to England overall (5.9% prevalence). There is a higher prevalence of hypertension (15.2%) when compared to the (14.1%) and England (13.8%). However, modelled estimates at local authority level indicate this figure could be much higher, and there may be a large proportion of Suffolk residents with undiagnosed hypertension. Finding people with high blood pressure is arguably the most effective way to prevent heart attacks, strokes, cognitive decline and premature death and disability. There could be scope for community pharmacies to help with screening the population and helping to identify those with need of follow-up and treatment. Lifestyle Lifestyle issues are of concern in some of the areas in Suffolk. These include: • drug and alcohol use • sexual health and teenage pregnancy • smoking These are more of an issue in certain areas rather than Suffolk as a whole. Locally- commissioned services, through the local authority, are provided by many community pharmacies to address these issues.

Pharmaceutical service providers in Suffolk To appreciate the definition of pharmaceutical services as used in this PNA, it is firstly important to understand the types of providers of NHS pharmaceutical services comprised in the pharmaceutical list maintained by NHS England. They are: • pharmacy contractors, including distance-selling pharmacies • dispensing appliance contractors • local pharmaceutical service providers • dispensing doctors For the purposes of this PNA, pharmaceutical services have been defined as those which are/may be commissioned under the provider’s contract with NHS England. Other providers of pharmaceutical services include hospitals, prisons and military bases. Suffolk HWB covers the geographical area of West Suffolk CCG, Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG and part of Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG. Suffolk has 146 community pharmacies (as of 28th April 2017). This equates to an average of 19.7 community pharmacies per 100,000 population, which has decreased from 22 in 2012- 13. If we include dispensing GP practices, then the figure rises to 25.4. Table 1 below shows the data for the average number of community pharmacies for the HWB, the region and England, and compares the data from the previous PNA with 2015-16. Suffolk is currently well-served with community pharmacies, having numbers between England and East of England region averages. Table 1: Average number of community pharmacies per 100,000 population

A number of community pharmacies in Suffolk are open weekday evenings, Saturday and Sunday. NHS legislation allows for GPs in certain areas to dispense NHS prescriptions for defined populations (controlled localities) not having reasonable access to a community pharmacy. In addition to 146 community pharmacies, Suffolk has 43 dispensing GP practices providing pharmaceutical services. Combining these, Suffolk has an average of 25.4 community pharmacies and dispensing GP practices per 100,000 population. This is a decrease of 0.5 per 100,000 population compared to the 2015 PNA.

Feedback on pharmaceutical services The views of pharmacy service users were gained from a questionnaire circulated for comments from the general public. From the 500 responses received from the public questionnaire: • 77% use a regular or preferred pharmacy • 89% visit the pharmacy for their own needs and 54% for a family member • 62% indicate that they use their pharmaceutical service provider(s) once a month or more • 69% rated ‘close to home’ as most important reason for choice of pharmacy; 55% rated ‘close to GP Practice’; friendly staff and efficiency were also highly rated • 62% of respondents report normally travelling by car, 31% walk, 3% use public transport and 2% use a bicycle • 80% of respondents can get to their pharmacy within 15 minutes and only 1% report having a travelling time of over 30 minutes • Of the 8% who report they have difficulties when travelling to a pharmacy, 48% indicate this is due to parking difficulties • 38% prefer to visit the pharmacy Monday-Friday, 50% said their preferred date varied, 10% prefer to visit on a Saturday and just 1% prefer Sunday • 42% of respondents prefer to visit the pharmacy between 9am and 6pm; 7% prefer early evening and less than 1% prefer to visit after 8pm; 50% however said their preference varied • 59% indicate they purchase over-the-counter medicines up to once a month or more. • Only 10% of respondents indicated that they have used an internet pharmacy; of those who did, 85% rated the service as excellent or good *In some cases, respondents were able to give more than one answer, and so responses may add up to more than 100%. Suffolk HWB has identified necessary services as essential services and advanced services, as required by Paragraphs 1 and 3 of Schedule 1 to the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013. Suffolk HWB has identified enhanced services as pharmaceutical services which secure improvements or better access, or which have contributed towards meeting the need for pharmaceutical services in Suffolk. Suffolk HWB has identified locally-commissioned services which secure improvements or better access, or which have contributed towards meeting the need for pharmaceutical services in the area in Suffolk.

Conclusions Routine access Respondents to the pharmacy questionnaire indicated that the most important issue when choosing access to pharmaceutical services is having the pharmacy 'close to home'. Travel analysis shows that 100% of the Suffolk population has an average drive time not exceeding 25 minutes to their nearest provider of pharmaceutical services and the responses to the public questionnaire identified 62% of respondents use their car to travel to their pharmacy. Use of public transport to reach their pharmacy could be an issue, as between 7% and 8% of the population take over 30 minutes to reach their nearest pharmacy. However, the public questionnaire identified only 3% of respondents use public transport to travel to their pharmacy. It is recognised that a large proportion of the population of Suffolk live in a rural area and have rights to dispensing from their dispensing GP practice. There are 146 community pharmacies in Suffolk, 21 (14.4%) of which are open for 100 hours a week or more. The majority of dispensing GP practices are also open at least one evening a week and some are also open on Saturdays. There are only community pharmacy providers open on Sundays, mostly situated in towns and large villages. Access to pharmaceutical services in the weekday evenings and weekends is therefore generally good, however there is only provision from four pharmacies on Sunday evenings and none through the night. Provision on some bank holidays in some locations is varied and often for limited hours. NHS England review provision after each Christmas, New Year and Easter bank holiday rota. Based on the results and feedback received, NHS England will make any changes necessary to provide adequate access for the county for the next bank holiday period. Based on the results and feedback from: • the public and contractor questionnaires • provision of 100-hour pharmacies in Suffolk compared to nationally and regionally • access to pharmacies across Suffolk or in neighbouring HWB areas There is no evidence to suggest there is a gap in service which would equate to the need for access to essential services outside normal hours in this HWB. It is understood that commercial factors often dictate many pharmacies' decision to open (or not) during bank holidays. Therefore, if there was a need it would be met by existing providers. Suffolk HWB will monitor the uptake and need for necessary services. It will also consider the impact of any changes in the future which may provide evidence that a need exists.

Improvements and better access The PNA Steering Group recognises that there are potential opportunities to commission services from community pharmacy or other healthcare providers, which would promote health and wellbeing, address health inequalities and reduce pressures elsewhere in the health system. Where the potential exists for community pharmacies to contribute to the health and wellbeing of the population of Suffolk, this has been included within the document. Suffolk HWB recognise that the burden of health needs in Suffolk will increase as the population grows and ages and would welcome proactive proposals from commissioners, including NHSE and all CCGs to commission pharmacy services that meet local needs but are beyond the scope of the PNA.

Section 1: Introduction 1.1 Background The Health Act 20091 made amendments to the NHS Act 2006, requiring each Primary Care Trust (PCT) to assess the needs for pharmaceutical services in its area and publish a statement of its assessment and any revised assessment. The regulations required the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) to be published by 1 February 2011. There was also a requirement to re-write the PNA every three years or sooner if there were significant changes to the pharmaceutical needs of the area. Suffolk PCT and Great Yarmouth and Waveney PCT produced their first PNAs in 2011. These were subsequently updated in 2015 by Suffolk (Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB. The responsibility for the development, publishing and updating of PNAs became the responsibility of Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs) as a result of the Health and Social Care Act 2012.2 This Act reformed the NHS from 1st April 2013. PCTs were abolished and Health and Wellbeing Boards, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and NHS England were formed. • CCGs are clinically-led NHS bodies responsible for planning, purchasing and monitoring the majority of local health services including hospital, community, emergency and mental health care. • NHS England oversees the operations of the CCGs, as well as commissioning primary and specialist services (such as cancer care). Along with CCGs, it has the responsibilities of improving health outcomes and reducing health inequalities. • Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs), hosted by each ‘upper tier’ local authority, have their membership drawn from local leaders (often NHS England, CCGs and local government) and are responsible for the continual improvement of the health and wellbeing of the local population. Suffolk HWB covers Suffolk County, which includes the geographical area of West Suffolk CCG, Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG and part of Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG. The NHS (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/349),3 hereafter referred to as the ‘Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013’, came into force on 1st April 2013. Unless required to be produced earlier, the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013 permitted HWBs a temporary extension of the PNAs previously produced by the PCT. HWBs were required to publish their first PNA by 1st April 2015.

The Regulations require each HWB to publish a statement of its revised assessment within three years of its previous publication, and this document fulfils that regulatory requirement. The Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013 were updated to the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) (Amendment and Transitional Provision) Regulations 2014 on 1st April 2014. This PNA has considered these amendments, but the Pharmacy Regulations 2013 have been referenced throughout. Since the 2015 PNA there have been a number of changes to the contractual framework for community pharmacies and these are briefly described below. 1.1.1 Essential Small Pharmacy Scheme (ESPS) Financial support for the Essential Small Pharmacy Scheme (ESPS) came to an end on 31st March 2015. Arrangements had existed for many years which provided modest financial support for small pharmacies in areas where they were needed for patients, but where the level of business was otherwise too low for a pharmacy to be viable. At the time, it was estimated there were no more than 100 such pharmacies in England. Those pharmacies that remained low volume and more than 1 km from the next nearest pharmacy had a number of options: • Cease to provide pharmaceutical services. • Return to the pharmaceutical list and receive standard funding. • Agree a new LPS contract with the local NHS England team. There are no pharmacies within Suffolk on LPS contracts. 1.1.2 Influenza vaccination advanced service On 20th July 2015, as part of the 2015-16 community pharmacy funding settlement, NHS England agreed to allow community pharmacies in England to offer a seasonal influenza (flu) vaccination service for patients in at-risk groups. This became the fifth Advanced Service in the English Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and provision of the service commenced from 16th September 2015. The service has continued to be recommissioned for subsequent flu seasons. Those pharmacies which provided the service for the 2015-16 flu season are listed in Appendix A. 1.1.3 NHS Urgent Medicine Supply Advanced Service (NUMSAS) On 20th October 2016, the Department of Health (DH) and NHS England announced that as part of the 2016-17 and 2017-18 community pharmacy funding settlement, money from the Pharmacy Integration Fund (PhIF) would be used to fund a national pilot of an NHS Urgent Medicine Supply Advanced Service (NUMSAS). The pilot service has been commissioned as an Advanced Service and it will run from 1st December 2016 to 31st March 2018, with a review point to consider progress in September 2017. The service can only be accessed via a referral from an urgent care provider, e.g. NHS 111, who holds a list of providers of the service.

15

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

There is no publicly-available list of providers of the service. The PNA recognises that a funded service which supports the supply of urgent medicines from pharmacies would reduce the burden on urgent care services and GPs and improve patient care. Consideration will be given to the type of commissioned service that would be most beneficial once the NUMSAS service evaluation is complete. A commissioned service had been running in Waveney since December 2015 and this had the additional benefits of an IT platform which facilitated service delivery and audit, as well as direct access for patients without the need for referral via NHS 111. 1.1.4 Pharmacy Access Scheme (PhAS) At the same time, the DH confirmed the introduction of a Pharmacy Access Scheme (PhAS). The aim is to ensure that a baseline level of patient access to NHS community pharmacy services is protected. The PhAS will protect access in areas where there are fewer pharmacies with higher health needs and ensure no area is left without access to NHS community pharmaceutical services. Qualifying pharmacies receive an additional payment which will protect them from the full effect of the reduction in funding which was imposed from December 2016. There are 32 pharmacies who qualify under the PhAS. A full list of those pharmacies can be found in Appendix A. It is uncertain whether this scheme will continue after March 2018. 1.1.5. Quality payment scheme The Government also introduced a 'quality payment scheme'. To qualify for payment, pharmacies have to meet four gateway criteria: • provision of at least one advanced service • NHS Choices entry up to date • staff able to send and receive NHS email • ongoing utilisation of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) Fulfilling the gateway criteria does not earn the pharmacy the quality payment in itself. Payment depends on how many of the quality criteria the pharmacy meets and the criteria are weighted based on how difficult they are to meet. At each review point, pharmacies need to make a declaration to NHS Business Services Authority (NHS BSA) and payment will be based on how many criteria are met. It is uncertain whether this scheme will continue after March 2018. 1.1.6. Pharmacy consolidations On 5th December 2016, an amendment to the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013 came into effect affecting 'pharmacy consolidations'. This allowed NHS pharmacy businesses to apply to consolidate the services provided on two or more sites into a single site. Applications to consolidate are dealt with as 'excepted applications' under the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013, which means in general terms that they will not be assessed against the PNA. Instead, consolidation applications will follow a simpler procedure, the key to which is whether or not a gap in pharmaceutical service provision would be created by the consolidation.

Some provision is also made in respect of continuity of services. For example, if NHS England intends to commission an 'enhanced service' from the applicant that has been provided at or from the closing premises, then the applicant is required to provide undertakings to continue to provide those services following consolidation. If NHS England is satisfied the consolidation would create a gap in service provision, it must refuse the application. If the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) does not consider that a gap in service provision is created as a consequence, it must publish a supplementary statement alongside its PNA recording its view. 1.2 Purpose of the PNA NHS England is required to publish and maintain pharmaceutical lists for each HWB area. Any person wishing to provide NHS pharmaceutical services is required to be listed on the pharmaceutical list. NHS England must consider any applications for entry onto the pharmaceutical list. The Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013 require NHS England to consider applications to fulfil unmet needs determined within the PNA of that area, or applications for benefits unforeseen within the PNA. Such applications could be for the provision of NHS pharmaceutical services from new premises, or to extend the range or duration of current NHS pharmaceutical services offered from existing premises. As the PNA will become the basis for NHS England to make determinations on such applications, it is therefore prudent that the PNA is compiled in line with the Regulations and with due process, and that the PNA is accurately maintained and up to date. Although decisions made by NHS England regarding applications to the pharmaceutical list may be appealed to the NHS Family Health Services Appeals Unit, the final published PNA cannot be appealed. It is likely the only challenge to a published PNA will be through application for a judicial review of the process undertaken to conclude the PNA. The PNA should also be considered alongside the Local Authority’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA).4 The PNA will identify where 'necessary' NHS pharmaceutical services (as detailed in Section 1.3) are required to address public health needs identified in the JSNA as a current or future need. In many cases, public health needs may be addressed through locally-commissioned services which has not been considered within the scope of this PNA. Through decisions made by the Local Authority, NHS England and the CCGs, these documents will jointly aim to improve the health and wellbeing of the local population and reduce inequalities. 1.3 Scope of the PNA The Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013 detail the information required to be contained within a PNA.

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

A PNA is required to measure the adequacy of pharmaceutical services in the HWB area under five key themes: • necessary services*: current provision • necessary services*: gaps in provision • other relevant services, current provision • improvements and better access: gaps in provision • other services *Necessary services are services that the PNA has identified as services inside and outside of the HWB area which are necessary to meet the need (or contribute to meeting the need) for pharmaceutical services in its area. In addition, the PNA details how the assessment was carried out. This includes: • how the localities were determined • the different needs of the different localities • the different needs of people who share a particular characteristic • a report on the PNA consultation As already mentioned, the PNA is aligned with the Suffolk JSNA. To appreciate the definition of 'pharmaceutical services' as used in this PNA, it is firstly important to understand the types of providers of NHS pharmaceutical providers comprised in the pharmaceutical list maintained by NHS England. They are: • pharmacy contractors, including distance-selling pharmacies • dispensing appliance contractors • local pharmaceutical service providers • dispensing doctors For the purposes of this PNA, 'pharmaceutical services' has been defined as those which are/may be commissioned under the provider’s contract with NHS England. A detailed description of each provider type, and the pharmaceutical services as defined in their contractual framework with NHS England, is set out below. 1.3.1 Pharmacy contractors Pharmacy contractors operate under the CPCF, initially agreed in 2005 with additional amendments since that time. See section 1.1 for the main changes in regulations affecting community pharmacy since the publication of the previous PNA. The Regulations set three levels of service under which community pharmacies operate. Essential services – these can be found in Schedule 4 (Part 2) of the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013.5

These are nationally negotiated and must be provided from all pharmacies: • dispensing of medicines • repeat dispensing • safe disposal of unwanted medicines • promotion of healthy lifestyles • signposting • support for self-care • clinical governance Advanced services – these can be found in Parts 2 and 3 of the NHS Act 2006 and in the Pharmaceutical Services (Advanced and Enhanced Services) (England) Directions 2013, the ‘2013 Directions’.6 These are negotiated nationally; any contractor may provide them, as long as they meet the necessary criteria: • Medicines Use Reviews (MURs) • New Medicine Service (NMS) • Flu Vaccination Service • NHS Urgent Medicines Supply Advanced Service (NUMSAS) • Appliance Use Reviews (AURs) • Stoma Appliance Customisation (SAC) A full list of provision of advanced services provided by pharmacies in Suffolk (correct as of 1st June 2017) can be found in Appendix A. Enhanced services – these can be found in Part 4 of the 2013 Directions. They are negotiated locally by NHS England Area Teams and may only be provided by contractors directly commissioned by NHS England. • anticoagulant monitoring service • care home service • disease-specific management service • emergency supply service • gluten-free supply service • independent prescribing service • home delivery service • language access service • medication review service • minor ailment service* • needle and syringe exchange service*

• on-demand availability of specialist drugs service • out-of-hours service • patient group direction service • prescriber support service • schools service • screening service* • stop smoking service* • supervised administration service* • supplementary prescriber service *These are services which are often commissioned by local authorities or CCGs. The responsibility for public health services transferred from PCTs to local authorities with effect from 1st April 2013. Where these services are currently commissioned by local authorities, they are not considered enhanced or pharmaceutical services. The 2013 Directions, however, permit NHS England to commission them from pharmacy contractors if asked to do so by a local authority. In this case, if commissioned by NHS England, they are enhanced services and fall within the definition of pharmaceutical services. In Suffolk, NHS England, as part of their emergency planning responsibilities, commission a provision of potassium iodate tablets service to help manage any radiation leak from Sizewell power station. A number of public health services are commissioned locally from community pharmacies by Suffolk County Council. These can be found listed in Appendix A. Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG commission a palliative care medicines service from local community pharmacies. They also commission an emergency supply of medicines service, which is available from all pharmacies in the CCG area. Pharmacy contractors comprise both those located within Suffolk listed in Appendix A, those in neighbouring HWB areas and remote suppliers, such as distance-selling pharmacies. Although distance-selling pharmacies may provide services from all three levels as described above, and must provide all essential services, they may not do so face-to-face. Additionally, they must provide services to the whole population of England. There was one distance-selling pharmacy located within Suffolk in 2015, but this has now closed: • Blackbay Ventures Limited, Unit 12, Acorn Business Centre, Oaks Drive, Newmarket, CB8 7SX However, it should also be noted that distance-selling pharmacies throughout England (there were 266 in 2015-167) must provide services to anyone in England who requests them.

1.3.2 Dispensing Appliance Contractors (DACs) Dispensing Appliance Contractors (DACs) operate under the Terms of Service for Appliance Contractors as set out in Schedule 5 of the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013.8 They can supply appliances against an NHS prescription such as stoma and incontinence aids, dressings, bandages etc. DACs must provide a range of essential services, such as dispensing of appliances, advice on appliances, signposting, clinical governance and home delivery of appliances. In addition, DACs may provide the advanced services of Appliance Use Reviews (AURs) and Stoma Appliance Customisation (SAC). Pharmacy contractors, dispensing doctors and local pharmaceutical service (LPS) providers may supply appliances but DACs are unable to supply medicines. Table 2: List of DACs in Suffolk

1.3.3 Local Pharmaceutical Service (LPS) providers A pharmacy provider may be contracted to perform specified services to their local population or a specific population group. This contract is locally commissioned by NHS England, and provision for such contracts is made in the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013 in Part 13 and Schedule 7.9 Such contracts are agreed outside the national framework, although may be over and above what is required from the national contract. Payment for service delivery is locally agreed and funded. In Suffolk there are no LPS pharmacies. Data gathered from 2015-16 shows that there was a total of 77 LPS pharmacies in England, which is a reduction of 80 since 2013-14. Of these, only ten are Essential Small Pharmacies and there are only two in the whole East of England region. Essential Small Pharmacies were under contract until 31st March 2015, at which time they were invited to either: • cease to provide pharmaceutical services • return to the pharmaceutical list and receive standard funding • agree a new LPS contract with the local NHS England team

1.3.4 Dispensing GP practices The Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013, as set out in Part 8 and Schedule 6, permit GPs in certain areas to dispense NHS prescriptions for defined populations. These provisions are to allow patients in rural communities, who do not live within a 1.6 km radius of a community pharmacy, to have access to dispensing services from their GP practice, where the GP practice has dispensing rights. Dispensing GP practices therefore make a valuable contribution to dispensing services, although they do not offer the full range of pharmaceutical services offered at community pharmacies. GP premises for dispensing must be listed within the pharmaceutical list held by NHS England and patients retain the right of choice to have their prescription dispensed from a community pharmacy if they wish. In Suffolk there are 43 dispensing GP practices. Dispensing GP practices may dispense NHS prescriptions for their own eligible patients who live more than 1m/1.6km (as the crow flies) from their nearest community pharmacy. These can be found listed in Appendix A and identified on Map A. 1.3.5 Other providers of pharmaceutical services in neighbouring HWB areas There are three other HWB areas which border the Suffolk HWB area: Essex, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk HWBs. Therefore, in determining the needs of, and pharmaceutical service provision to, the population of Suffolk, consideration has been made to the pharmaceutical service provision from the neighbouring HWB areas. Maps A and B provide a detailed analysis of pharmacy contractors which lie across the Suffolk HWB border but are within easy reach of the Suffolk HWB area. 1.3.6 Other services and providers in Suffolk out of scope of the PNA As mentioned earlier, for the purpose of this PNA, 'pharmaceutical services' have been defined as those which are, or may be, commissioned under the provider’s contract with NHS England. The following are providers of pharmaceutical services in Suffolk, but commissioned by organisations other than NHS England and therefore out of scope of the PNA. Prisons – in Suffolk there are three male prisons: HMP Highpoint (North and South), c1,323 operational capacity for Category C adult males; HMP and YOI Hollesley Bay, 471 operational capacity for Category D adult males; and HMP Warren Hill, 257 operational capacity for Category C adult males. As of December 2016, prison populations in Suffolk were at or just over operational capacity. A pharmaceutical service is provided to the prisoners of these prisons and is directly contracted by the Health and Justice Team of NHS England (Midlands and East of England region). HMP Highpoint (North and South) has an on-site pharmacy, whereas external providers supply all medications to HMP and YOI Hollesley Bay and HMP Warren Hill.

Hospitals – Suffolk has two main NHS Hospitals – West Suffolk Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust, providing services to the Suffolk and neighbouring populations. James Paget Hospital in Great Yarmouth is the main hospital used by the Waveney population. There are also a number of smaller community hospitals: Newmarket Community Hospital, Felixstowe Community Hospital, Aldeburgh Community Hospital and Bluebird Lodge Community Hospital. Pharmacy services are provided by Suffolk hospitals to both inpatients and outpatients from these sites. There are plans for Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust and Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust to reconfigure services. Minor injury units and walk-in centres – Felixstowe Community Hospital and Beccles and District War Memorial Community Hospital provide an assessment and treatment service for minor illness and minor ailments. There are no walk-in centres in Suffolk. Other commissioned services The following are services provided by NHS pharmaceutical providers in Suffolk, commissioned by organisations other than NHS England or provided privately and therefore out of scope of the PNA. It should be noted, while the following services fall outside the scope of the PNA, they are important services that in conjunction with the PNA create a strategic plan to address unmet health needs. Local authority public health services – Suffolk County Council commissions the following services from community pharmacies in Suffolk: • needle and syringe exchange service • supervised administration of opiates • chlamydia screening and treatment services • support to stop smoking services • emergency hormonal contraception services • NHS Health Checks Local CCGs – Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG locally commission a palliative drugs service and emergency supply of medicines service from community pharmacies. The emergency supply service is available from all contractors so no separate reference is made in Appendix A to those who supply the service. Non-commissioned – many NHS pharmaceutical providers offer the following services privately: • care home service • home delivery service • patient group direction service • screening service

Services vary between provider and in some cases may be provided free of charge. 1.4 Process for developing the PNA The Health and Social Care Act 2012 transferred responsibility for developing and updating of PNAs to HWBs. This meant that from 1st April 2013 the HWB assumed responsibility for the existing PNA – previously published by Suffolk PCT – and that the board must publish its first PNA by April 2015, with a revised assessment at least every three years thereafter. The last PNA for Suffolk was published in March 2015, and is therefore due to be re- assessed by March 2018. On 26th January 2017, the reassessment of the pharmaceutical needs of Suffolk was raised at the HWB meeting through the Information Bulletin. The Information Bulletin is a document that is made available to the public with the published agenda papers. It can include updated information requested by the board as well as information that a service considers should be made known to the board. Public Health Suffolk has a duty to complete this document on behalf of the HWB. Public Health Suffolk commissioned Soar Beyond to undertake the PNA. Soar Beyond was chosen from a selection of potential candidates due to their significant experience in providing services to assist pharmaceutical commissioning, including the production and publication of PNAs. Soar Beyond produced the first Suffolk HWB PNA in March 2015, and continued to support Suffolk County Council to maintain it. Step 1: Steering group and project group On 11th January 2017, a PNA Steering Group was established. The terms of reference and membership of the PNA Steering Group can be found in Appendix B. Step 2: Project management At its first meeting, Soar Beyond and the Local Authority presented and agreed the project plan and ongoing maintenance of the project plan. Appendix G shows an approved time line for the project. Step 3: Review of existing PNA and JSNA Through the project manager, the PNA Steering Group reviewed the existing PNA and subsequent supplementary statements10 and JSNA for Suffolk. It was agreed that the existing PNAs and subsequent supplementary statements were accurate and up-to- date and the public health team, supported by Soar Beyond, would be responsible for the on-going maintenance of the current PNA until this PNA was published.

Step 4a: Public questionnaire on pharmaceutical service provision A public questionnaire to establish views about pharmacy services was produced by the Steering Group, which was then circulated to all GP practices and community pharmacies in the Suffolk area. This was supported by a link to the questionnaire on the council’s website and advertised though posters in community pharmacies. A total of 500 responses were received, a summary of which can be found in Section 5. A copy of the public questionnaire can be found in Appendix C and results in Appendix M. Step 4b: Pharmacy contractor questionnaire The Steering Group agreed a questionnaire to be distributed to the local community pharmacies to collate information for the PNA. A total of 64 responses were received. A copy of the pharmacy contractor questionnaire can be found in Appendix D. The results of the questionnaire are found in Appendix N. Step 4c: Dispensing GP questionnaire A short questionnaire was agreed by the Steering Group which was distributed to the dispensing GP practices to inform the PNA on services provided. A total of 26 responses were received from the 43 dispensing GP practices in Suffolk. A copy of the dispensing GP practice questionnaire can be found in Appendix E. The results of the questionnaire are found in Appendix K. Step 4d: Commissioner questionnaire The Steering Group agreed a questionnaire to be distributed to all relevant commissioners in Suffolk to inform the PNA. A copy of the commissioner questionnaire can be found in Appendix F and the responses can be found in Appendix L. Step 5: Preparing the draft PNA for consultation The steering group, facilitated by the JSNA programme manager for Suffolk County Council, reviewed and revised the content and detail of the existing PNA, taking into account the JSNA and other relevant strategies, in order to ensure the priorities were identified correctly. 1.5 Localities for the purpose of the PNA The PNA Steering Group, at its first meeting, considered how the localities within Suffolk geography would be defined. The majority of health and social care data is available at district and local authority level and at this level provides reasonable statistical rigour. It was agreed that the district and borough council geographies would continue be used to define the localities of the Suffolk geography. These were the localities chosen in the previously published PNAs for Suffolk in 2015.

The district and borough councils for Suffolk are: • Babergh District Council • Forest Heath District Council • Ipswich Borough Council • Mid Suffolk District Council • St Edmundsbury Borough Council • Suffolk Coastal District Council • Waveney District Council Appendix A shows a list of providers of pharmaceutical services in each locality. Primary care services are commissioned at CCG level. The CCG geographies do not match the district or borough council boundaries in all cases in Suffolk.

Section 2: Context for the PNA Suffolk is a rural county in eastern England. It has borders with the counties of Cambridgeshire, Essex and Norfolk and a coastline facing the North Sea. Main urban areas in Suffolk include the county town of Ipswich and the large towns of Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft. Elsewhere in Suffolk, the population is located in smaller towns and villages and in more isolated settlements in the countryside. The main roads A14 and A12 cross the county, as does the main railway line from London to Cambridge and Norwich. The East Suffolk railway line runs from Ipswich to Felixstowe and Lowestoft. Felixstowe is the largest container port in the UK and there are also small ports at Ipswich and Lowestoft. The RAF and USAF have airbases in Suffolk but there is no commercial airport in the county. Figure 2: Suffolk County, including geographical features and boundaries of local authority districts

2.1 Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) The purpose of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is to accurately assess the health needs of a local population, to improve the physical and mental health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.

27

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

The JSNA underpins the Health and Wellbeing Strategy. The HWB is responsible for both the JSNA and the Health and Wellbeing Strategy. A rolling programme of needs assessments, topic-based reports and data analysis all inform the overarching Suffolk JSNA. Suffolk’s first JSNA was published in 2008, with the 2015 State of Suffolk report being the latest major update, however this is being refreshed during 2018. The Suffolk JSNA is not a single document, it is a suite of dynamic resources to inform commissioning of health and social care and provide strategic direction. 2.2 Health and Wellbeing Strategy The vision of the Suffolk HWB is to enable people in Suffolk to live healthier, happier lives. The HWB want to narrow the differences in healthy life expectancy between those living in the most deprived communities and those who are better off. Suffolk’s Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2012-22 sets the long term strategic framework for improving health and wellbeing in Suffolk. The Strategy was refreshed in 2016 to review and (where relevant) re-set the outcomes for the next three years to achieve the HWB's vision. The State of Suffolk 2015 informed the refresh of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, ensuring that the Strategy is evidence-based and focused on the relevant key issues including: inequalities, demographic pressures and redesigning services to meet needs and enhance opportunities for prevention. The refreshed outcomes for 2016-19 are shown below. Figure 3: Refreshed Health and Wellbeing Strategy outcomes, 2016-201911

2.3 Population characteristics 2.3.1 Overview The 2015 mid-year estimate of the resident population of Suffolk was 741,895, comprising 366,043 males (49.3%) and 375,852 females (50.7%). The population has increased by 3.1% since 2010, and is expected to increase 11% by 2039 to 823,000.12

A breakdown of the population of Suffolk by district and borough shows that there is a great deal of variation around the county, with some local authorities having higher or lower proportions of each age group, compared to figures for the county overall. Those aged over 65 years comprise over 20% of the total population in five of the local authorities, but less than 20% in Forest Heath (17.6%) and Ipswich (16.0%). These authorities have higher proportions of their populations in the 0-15 age group. Table 4: Number of residents by age band for local authorities in Suffolk, 201514

2.3.3 Predicted population growth Population projections from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) suggest that the population of Suffolk is expected to increase to 777,900 by 2025 and 823,000 by 2039. The chart overleaf shows how the different age groups are predicted to change over the coming years. Some younger age groups are forecast to see a fall in numbers, however older age groups are set to increase, most notably those aged 65 to 84, who will make up the largest proportion of the population by 2026. This group will continue increase to 2039, the last year for which figures are currently available, when they are forecast to make up almost 25% of the population of Suffolk. Those aged over 85 are forecast to more than double by 2039, increasing from an estimated 24,000 in 2014 to 59,000. By contrast, the 35 to 49 population is forecast to reduce in number, from 139,000 in 2014 to 128,000 by 2039, a decrease of 3.1%.

West Suffolk CCG has the highest average list size at 10,581. 2.3.5 International migration ONS figures for 2015 show that although the rate of international migration to Suffolk is increasing, it remained below the rates for both the East of England and England until 2014, (when the rate exceeded that for the East of England). Data for 2015 shows that the rate of non-British nationals in Suffolk has reached 83.7 per 1,000 population, lower than the figure for England (93.2 per 1,000 population). Data from the Local Area Migration Indicators also shows that the proportion of live births in Suffolk to mothers born outside the increased from 13.9% in 2005 to 19.7% in 2015.21 The number of non-UK born residents in Suffolk increased from 44,000 (6.4% of the total population) in 2005 to 77,000 (10.6% of the population) in 2015.

2.3.7 Specific populations 2.3.7.1 Ethnicity At the time of the last Census in 2011, 95.2% of the resident population in Suffolk identified themselves as White, around 5% above the rate for England and 10% higher than for the East of England. Consequently, Suffolk has lower percentages of the other ethnic groups compared to national figures. All local authorities within Suffolk have higher percentages of White residents compared to the county overall, except Forest Heath and Ipswich. Forest Heath is more ethnically diverse, largely due to the presence of American airbases at Mildenhall and Lakenheath. Table 7: Ethnicity by area in Suffolk, 201124

2.3.7.2.1 School Census The latest available data from the School Census shows 90% of school age children in Suffolk are White. Approximately 84% of these children are White British and 5% any other White background.27 14% of pupils are categorised as minority ethnic pupils, an increase of 1% from 2015.

In addition, 8.9% of primary and 6.3% of secondary school pupils are known or believed to have a first language other than English. Both of these figures have increased since the 2015 School Census, where the percentages were 8.0% for primary schools and 5.6% for secondary schools.28 It is possible to compare the ethnic origin of school children in Suffolk with that of the population from the last Census, which remains the only current equivalent data source. There are around 5% fewer White children than in Suffolk overall, and the proportion of mixed-ethnicity children is 3.2% above that for the county as a whole. This suggests that the younger population of Suffolk is becoming more ethnically diverse. 2.3.7.2.2 Child poverty In 2014 child poverty in Suffolk affected 16.0% of children under the age of 16 equating to nearly 20,000 children. This is significantly lower than the figure for England (20.1%). At local authority level, Ipswich has a significantly higher proportion of children in poverty (21.3%), as has Waveney (22.7%) when compared to the England percentage. 2.3.7.2.3 Criminal justice In 2015, the rate of 10-17 year olds entering the criminal justice system was 303.8 per 100,000 population, significantly lower than the rate for England at 368.6 per 100,000.29 There were 1,636 first-time offenders of any age entering the criminal justice system in 2015, equating to a rate of 221.5 per 10,000 population, lower than the England rate (242.4 per 10,000).30 2.3.7.3 Children and adults in care The number of Children in Care (CiC) increased by 65 from 2015 to 2016, from 730 to 795. Prior to that, it had been slowly reducing, from 775 in 2012 to 725 in 2014. However, the rate per 10,000 children aged under 18 is still below the average for England, and has remained at 60 per 10,000 for the last four years.

The prevalence of those with learning disabilities who were registered with a GP was 0.42% for Suffolk in 2014/15 significantly lower than for England (0.44%).32 In 2014/15, 4.08 people per 1,000 population aged 18 to 64 were getting long-term support from the local authority due to learning difficulties, a significantly higher rate compared England (3.73 per 1,000).33 2.3.7.4 Older people ONS population estimates for 2015 indicate that 22.4% of Suffolk residents are aged 65 and over. Population forecasts suggest that this figure is set to rise to 26.1% by 2025 and 31.6% by 2039. In addition, the proportion of the population over the age of 85 is set to rise in the same period from 3.2% to 4.2%, then 7.1%. This will undoubtedly have an impact on health and care services. In 2015/16 the rate of emergency admissions to hospital due to dementia was 3,115 per 100,000 population, below the national figure. However, this has been steadily increasing since 2012/13 when the rate was 2,708 per 100,000 population. 2.3.7.5 Prison populations There are several prisons within Suffolk, they are all trainer prisons and the nearest remand prison is Norwich. Prisons within Suffolk are: • Warren Hill Prison – 257 operational capacity for Category C* adult males (18+). This is distributed with 32 in the Democratic Therapeutic Community; 20 in Psychologically Informed Planned Environment. The majority of the prison population are within the Progression Regime or in transit from open conditions. • Highpoint – c1,323 operational capacity for Category C* adult males (18+). These are across two distinct sites, Highpoint North and South. This training prison is located near Newmarket, Suffolk.

• Hollesley Bay – 471 operational capacity for Category D** adult males (18+). This is an open prison in Woodbridge, Suffolk.34, As of December 2016, prison populations in Suffolk were at, or just over operational capacity.35 The operational capacity refers to the number of inmates the prison can safely hold. Prison populations are a high-risk group for cancer and heart attacks due to tobacco and alcohol use, poor diet and reduced physical activity.36

Between 2001 and 2011, the percentage of usual residents in local authority districts in Suffolk reporting activity-limiting illness increased in all areas except Ipswich. As with general health, these increases are likely to be in part related to population growth and ageing of the population between 2001 and 2011.

At the 2011 Census a total of 4.8% of usual residents of working age in Suffolk reported that their day-to-day activities were limited a lot. This compared with 4.6% in East of England and 5.6% in England as a whole. In local authority districts in Suffolk, the percentage of usual working age residents reporting that their day-to-day activities were not limited ranged from 84.7% in Waveney to 90.2% in Forest Heath. Percentages reporting that their day-to-day activities were limited a lot ranged from 3.7% in Mid Suffolk to 6.9% in Waveney. The percentage of usual residents of working age reporting that their day-to-day activities were limited a little was also highest in Waveney (8.4%).

the year per 100,000 Approximately 22 people in every 100,000 aged 18-64 are registered deaf or hard of hearing in Suffolk. This is very low compared to the England average. Caution should be taken when interpreting this data, as registration is voluntary and therefore this indicator is not a good proxy for the prevalence of hearing impairments. People who are deaf or hard of hearing and also blind or partially sighted are recorded on the Register of Blind and Partially Sighted Persons, and are excluded from the count of people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Data indicates that approximately 156 of every 100,000 working age people (18-64) were registered as blind or partially sighted in 2013-14.40 The numbers of adults with physical difficulties or adults with mental ill health were significantly lower than England. Adults with learning disability were significantly lower in Suffolk than nationally. They are also lower than the East of England region which, although on a declining trajectory, remains higher than England.

2.3.7.7 Maternities In Suffolk in 2015 there were 7,933 maternities and 8,028 live births.41 A maternity is a pregnancy resulting in the birth of one or more children. This figure includes stillbirths and therefore represents the number of women giving birth rather than the number of babies born. Suffolk has a higher rate of maternities compared to England, and areas within Suffolk exhibit variation in maternity rates. Mid Suffolk has the lowest maternity rate (55.9 per 1,000 women), Forest Heath has the highest (80.1 per 1,000 women). In terms of absolute numbers, Ipswich had the highest number of maternities (1,956), this represented 25% of all maternities in Suffolk. The age of the mother at birth was slightly lower in Suffolk compared to England.

There is no available total number of homeless households in Suffolk. Those in priority need for whom there is a Local Authority statutory duty are recorded, but these are only a proportion of the total. The vast majority of single homeless people are not considered statutorily homeless (for example those ‘sofa surfing’ or residing with friends), and of these there is no record. 44 2015-16 data indicates that there were 155 households recorded as residing in temporary accommodation across Suffolk local authorities, with the highest rate in Babergh (0.9 per 1,000 households) and the lowest rate in Mid Suffolk (0.2 per 1,000 households)*.45 The rate for England during the same period was 3.1 per 1,000 households (1.0 excluding London).

* Note: Suffolk coastal figures suppressed as too small to publish. 2.3.7.9 Daytime population (commuter flows) Data for Suffolk local authorities indicates that Ipswich has the highest net commuter inflow, increasing the overall population size during the working hours. Mid Suffolk has the highest net commuter outflow, resulting in a decreased working hours population. As well as workday movement, research by Visit England and Office of National Statistics estimated that in 2011 there were a total number of 31,228,000 day visitors to Suffolk. In 2010 there were 1,787,000 staying visitors in Suffolk, staying a total of 6,525,000 nights. The total number of day visitors was 24,808,375.46 Figure 13: Local authority commuter flow data, Suffolk, 201147

2.3.7.10 Gypsy and Traveller population Gypsy and Traveller populations were counted at the 2011 Census for Suffolk. They numbered 604 (0.1%) people in Suffolk, however, this figure is likely to be an underestimate. Estimates suggest there are about 1,500 Gypsies and Travellers living in Suffolk in either trailers or houses based on an average of four persons per unit.48 Across Suffolk there are a number of council- and privately-owned Gypsy and Traveller sites. The Roma community come from Central and Eastern Europe and recently arrived in the UK, mostly after 2004. An estimate from the Roma community suggests there are about 1,000 Romanian Roma and 100 Bulgarian Roma living in Ipswich. School Census data for 2016 indicates a larger cohort of primary school age children in Suffolk are of Gypsy/Roma or Irish Traveller heritage, however this is still a relatively small number (400 pupils or 0.4% of all primary school pupils). The proportions are similar to England levels. Gypsies, Travellers and Roma have their own cultural health beliefs, and generally have a lower rate of GP registrations compared to the general population, as well as a life expectancy that is ten years lower.49 Significant health problems include long- term illness, respiratory disease (asthma and bronchitis), chest pain, chronic cough, higher maternal and neonatal death rates, high smoking rates, and anxiety and depression.

2.3.7.11 Housebound populations There is no single indicator representing the number of housebound residents in Suffolk. However, the following data provides an overview of potential proxy for this indicator. For example, disabled populations may be less likely to leave their homes due to the severity of their disablement, carer populations may be indicative of a housebound resident being cared for, and the carer may be housebound due to their caring commitments. At the 2011 Census 0.8% of the Suffolk population was residing in medical/care communal establishment (just over 5,600 people).51 The numbers of people in medical/care communal establishment settings were highest in Suffolk Coastal (1,145) and lowest in Forest Heath (285). Working-age client group data indicates approximately 41,000 Suffolk residents of working age claim some sort of benefit: when expressed as a percentage this is lower than the East of England and Great Britain. When including older people and children, the total number of disability living allowance claimants was 25,000 in August 2016. Attendance allowance is given to those aged 65+ for personal care because an individual is physically or mentally disabled. Data for Suffolk indicates that in August 2016 20,440 residents were in receipt of attendance allowance.52 Table 14: Working-age client group claimants, 201653

2013-14 data indicates that the rate of older people (65+) supported year-round is significantly lower in Suffolk than nationally, however this still amounts to nearly 13,000 Suffolk residents. Data for the same period indicates that during the year there were 2,625 adults in residential care. The rate of Suffolk residents receiving home care during 2013/14 was significantly higher than England, and equated to 9,240 individuals. Contrary to a national decreasing trend, Suffolk data indicates that the number and rate of those receiving home care increased between 2012-13 and 2013-14. The rate of Suffolk residents receiving day care was significantly higher than England in 2013-14 although there has been a steady decline in rates both locally and nationally since 2006-07. 2.3.8 Deprivation The English Indices of Deprivation measure relative levels of deprivation in 32,844 small geographical neighbourhoods, called Lower-layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs), in England. It is important to note that these statistics are a measure of relative deprivation, not affluence, and to recognise that not every person in a highly-deprived area will themselves be deprived. Likewise, there will be some deprived people living in the least deprived areas.56 A range of economic, social and housing indicators is combined into a single deprivation score for each LSOA. The score is an absolute measure of deprivation. The score allows the 32,482 LSOAs in England to be ranked relative to one another. The overall Suffolk score for 2015 was 18.3, this is lower than England at 21.8. The indices of deprivation also provide ranking of local authorities, where the lower the rank, the more deprived the area. Ipswich remains the most deprived local authority in Suffolk, being ranked 71st out of 326 LAs in England. Ipswich has risen in the rankings from 99 in 2007, but still remains outside the top 20% of most deprived LAs nationally. It should be noted, that although Forest Heath appears to have dropped 100 places in the ranking, early data was generated using populations including United States military personnel based in the area. Suffolk has become more deprived compared to other local authority areas in England since 2010. Only three counties/unitary authorities worsened by more places in the rankings than Suffolk. However, Suffolk continues to experience below-average levels of deprivation.

Figure 14: Deprivation by LSOAs in Suffolk Comparative IMD distribution in 2010 and 2015

The impact of rurality and deprivation57: Despite these relatively low levels of overall rural deprivation in Suffolk, small distinct pockets of rural deprivation do clearly exist; these can be hidden by the Indices of Multiple Deprivation being calculated at LSOA level. The cost of providing services in rural areas is estimated to be significantly higher than the cost of providing services in urban areas. Suffolk’s rural population is older than its urban population, and the proportion of older people in Suffolk’s rural population is increasing faster than the proportion of older people in urban areas. This trend, combined with the higher cost of providing services in rural areas, housing stock which is often difficult to heat and maintain, poor transport and more limited social networks, is likely to lead to high and increasing needs and costs for Suffolk’s rural population now and in the future. 2.3.9 Premature mortality Premature mortality is a good high-level indicator of the overall health of a population, being correlated with many other measures of population health. The number of premature deaths in Suffolk from 2013-15 was 6,140, directly standardised rates of premature (under 75) mortality in Suffolk local authorities show variation. Rates are highest in Ipswich (364 per 100,000 population) equating to 1,114 premature deaths, and are significantly higher than England. Rates are lowest in Babergh (251 per 100,000 population) equating to 698 premature deaths during 2013- 15. Map O shows Standard Mortality Ratio (SMR) for all-cause mortality under 75 (2010-2014 inclusive).

Key compared with England: 2.4 Causes of ill health 2.4.1 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to all the diseases of the heart and circulation, including heart attack and stroke. CVD accounts for one in ten of all emergency admissions and is one of the highest causes of emergency hospital admission in Suffolk, with over 7,300 hospital admissions during 2013/14. In Suffolk, the premature mortality rate (age under 75) from cardiovascular disease was 62.2 per 100,000 population in 2013-15. This was significantly lower than the England rate of 74.6 per 100,000. When split by gender, Suffolk males had a higher mortality rate (62.2 per 100,000) compared to Suffolk females (35.4 per 100,000). However, these mortality rates were both significantly lower than England males and females. At local authority level, higher premature mortality rates were identified in males living in Forest Heath, Ipswich and Waveney. In 2013-15 in Suffolk there were 853 deaths from cardiovascular diseases in those aged under 75 that were considered preventable. During the same period the total cardiovascular disease deaths in those age under 75 totalled 1,317. In those aged 65 and over there were 5,617 deaths from cardiovascular disease in 2013-15. This number has been steadily declining since 2001-03, mirroring national trends. This figure equates to a rate of 1,116.6 per 100,000 population 65+, and is significantly better than the England rate of 1,191.9 per 100,000.

It is estimated that there may be approximately 7,500 people with undiagnosed diabetes in Suffolk.64 In terms of the control of diabetes, at CCG level, the figures for well-controlled blood glucose were 61.4% for Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG (better than the national average) and 61.3% in West Suffolk CCG (similar to the national average). However, cholesterol control in those with diabetes was poorer than the national average for Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG. West Suffolk CCG had a higher percentage of patients with diabetes with good blood pressure control compared to England. For all three indicators, the Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG had significantly worse levels than the England average. Great Yarmouth and Waveney also has a higher prevalence of diabetes compared to other Suffolk CCGs and England as a whole.

Depression is a common and debilitating condition. Figures for 2015/16 indicate that around 9% people aged 18 and over in Suffolk have been recognised by their GP as having depression (over 55,000 people), with only small variation across the CCG areas:71 • Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG: 9.2% • Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG: 8.7% • West Suffolk CCG: 8.7% These figures are significantly higher than the England prevalence (8.3%), however, they may underestimate the prevalence of depression, as many cases still remain unreported. In 2016, the rate of Employment Support Allowance (ESA) claimants for mental and behavioural disorders was lower in Suffolk compared with England.

There were 187 deaths from suicide between 2012 and 2014 in Suffolk, the majority being men (137), although the age standardised suicide rate per 100,000 people is not significantly different from regional and national averages.74 Self-harming is considered to be a risk factor for the development of mental ill health in young people.75 In Suffolk over the period 2010-11 to 2012-13 there were 1,274 admissions to hospital for self-harm in young people aged 10 to 24. The overall rate of self-harm admissions in Suffolk is similar to the national average (375 per 100,000 people aged 10-24 years compared with 399 per 100,000 in England).76 Hospital admissions data for Suffolk indicates that for children and young people aged 0-19 years, rates of self-harm are three times greater amongst the most deprived Suffolk residents compared with the least deprived.77 2.4.6 Accidental injuries Suffolk has a lower rate of hospital admissions caused by unintentional and deliberate injuries in children and young people compared to England, and is similar to the East of England.

As people become older, they become increasingly likely to fall. About 1 in 3 people aged over 65 and 1 in 2 people aged over 80 will fall at least once a year. Women are more likely to fall than men. Falls can cause serious physical injury, for example, a fractured hip, and they can also make people fearful and anxious, which means that they restrict their activities and lose their independence.81 In 2014-15 in Suffolk there were 3,048 emergency hospital admissions for injuries due to falls in persons aged 65+; this equates to approximately 8 admissions per day. 71% of these admissions were for people aged 80+. Suffolk has a lower rate of falls compared to the East of England and England overall. None of the local authorities in Suffolk had a significantly higher rate of falls in those aged 65+ compared to England.

2.4.8 Excess weight and obesity In Suffolk, nearly one in ten children aged 4-5 are obese (9.1%), one in five (19.8%) children aged 10-11 years are obese. In Suffolk, obesity in school children in reception year, measured under the National Child Measurement Programme, shows a downward trend over the last few years, from 8.7% in 2008-09 to 2010-11 to 8.2% in 2012-13 to 2014-15. The rate of obesity in this age group has been consistently around 1% below the rate for England. The percentage of obese school children in Year 6 is around twice that of reception year. The trend of this age group is upward, from 16.2% in 2008-09 to 2010-11 to 17% in 2012-13 to 2014-15. In spite of this increase, the rate of obesity in this age group continues to be around 2% below the rate for England. Approximately 2/3 of Suffolk adults are overweight or obese (66.1%), this is statistically worse than England levels (64.8%).

2.4.9 Palliative care In 2015, 3.9% of deaths occurred in hospices, compared to 5.6% in England. For those aged 0 to 64 years, the percentage rises to 10.1% in Suffolk, similar to England’s rate of 10.6%.88 Generally, the rate reduces as age increases, with older people (i.e. over the age of 65) people less likely to die in a hospice and more likely to die in hospital or a care home. Compared to England, a statistically higher percentage of Suffolk residents died in their home or in a care home in 2015. Table 23: Place of death for people of all ages, 201589

2.4.10 Influenza Flu vaccination reduces the risk of seasonal flu and decreases hospital admissions for influenza, respiratory conditions and exacerbations of other conditions. The national flu vaccination programme for adults is targeted at people most at risk of harm from this: people aged 65 years and over, people under 65 in specific clinical risk groups, and pregnant women. The majority of vaccination is given between September and January each year by the GP practice with many pharmacists also offering the service. 71.2% of the population aged over 65 was vaccinated against influenza in 2015-16, similar to the England figure of 71.0% and the figure for the East of England of 70.9%. By contrast, only 42.4% of those under 65 considered at risk were vaccinated, below the England figure of 45.1% and the same as that for the East of England.90 Data indicates that the more deprived an area, the smaller the proportion of people vaccinated. 22% of the variation in influenza vaccine uptake by area can be explained by deprivation, rising to 26% for pregnant women. Residents in these localities are at greater risk of poor health compared with the county as a whole. The mortality rate from a range of specified communicable diseases (including influenza) was 6.8 per 100,000 population for 2013-15, lower than the rate for England at 10.5 per 100,000 and the East (8.7 per 100,000 population).

2.4.11 Coronary heart disease Data indicates that across the three Suffolk CCGs, on average 3.7% of the population is affected by coronary heart disease, compared with 3.2% in England and the East of England.91 Data for the three CCGs covering Suffolk shows that admissions to hospital (all ages) due to coronary heart disease are higher than the England figure of 539.7 per 100,000 population (2014/15): • Ipswich and East Suffolk = 558.5 per 100,000 (2,362 admissions) • Great Yarmouth and Waveney = 550.4 per 100,000 (1,353 admissions) • West Suffolk = 619.3 per 100,000 (1,420 admissions) However, the mortality rates of those under 75 years from coronary heart disease are lower in Suffolk than England, where the figure is 41.5 per 100,000 population (2012- 14).92 CCG data is provided below: • Ipswich and East Suffolk = 30.5 per 100,000 (341 deaths) • Great Yarmouth and Waveney = 40.9 per 100,000 (265 deaths) • West Suffolk = 35.1 per 100,000 (215 deaths) 2.4.12 Strokes and Transient Ischaemic Attacks 2015-16 QOF data indicates that 2.0% of the Suffolk population registered with a GP in Suffolk is recorded as having suffered a stroke or transient ischaemic attack, higher than both the East of England and England values (both 1.7%).93 Additionally, Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common forms of abnormal heart rhythm affecting over 15,500 people in Suffolk.94 AF increases with age and is present in nearly a fifth of those aged 85 years and above. AF is a major cause of stroke – the annual risk of a stroke is five to six times greater for people with AF.95 2.4.13 Hypertension In Suffolk, 15.2% of patients registered with a GP are recorded as having hypertension (high blood pressure), a higher rate compared to the East of England at 14.1% and England at 13.8%.96

However, modelled estimates at local authority level indicate this figure could be much higher, and there may be a large proportion of Suffolk residents with undiagnosed hypertension. Finding and treating people with high blood pressure is arguably the most effective way to prevent heart attacks, strokes, cognitive decline and premature death and disability.

The majority of people in Suffolk already diagnosed with high blood pressure are managing their condition well. However, over 25,000 people are not managing it to the levels recommended. Improvements in tackling blood pressure in the last decade have prevented or postponed many deaths. Standards are in place that describe good control of hypertension, however it is estimated that only four in ten adults in Suffolk with high blood pressure are both aware of their condition and are managing it properly.98 2.5 Lifestyle 2.5.1 Drug and alcohol misuse Prevalence estimates for 2011-12 (latest available) suggest there are 2,398 opiate and/or crack cocaine users resident in Suffolk, giving an estimated prevalence rate of 5.2 per 1,000 population. Not all of these individuals will be in substance misuse treatment services, and many will be unknown to treatment services.99

Mental ill health is common among those in treatment for drug use,100 and in Suffolk 19.1% of all people entering specialist drug misuse services in 2014/15 were having treatment from mental health services for a reason other than substance misuse at the time of assessment.

2.5.2 Alcohol and related disease Although many people consume alcohol without damaging their health, excessive consumption can cause severe physical and mental health conditions. It is estimated that approximately 15% of the Suffolk population aged over 18 drinks above the advised limits and 3.8%, or 22,000 people, in Suffolk are alcohol-dependent.101 Rates of hospital admissions for alcohol and other substance misuse are lower in Suffolk than regionally or nationally, but in 2014-15 just over 8,000 people in Suffolk had an alcohol-related hospital admission. Suffolk has a significantly low figure for Years of Life Lost (YLL) due to alcohol-related conditions – 414 per 100,000 of population compared to the average in England at 552 per 100,000.102 Nevertheless, more than 2,000 people in Suffolk per year are in poor health related to alcohol. Suffolk rates of admissions related to alcohol are generally lower than in the East of England and England.

Section 3: NHS pharmaceutical services provision – currently commissioned

3.1 Community pharmacies There are 146 community pharmacies in Suffolk, compared to 148 in 2015 PNA, serving a population of 741,895. This equates to an average of 19.7 pharmacies per 100,000 population, which has decreased slightly from the 2015 figure of 20.1 pharmacies. The figure is lower than the England average (2015/16 data) which is 21.5 pharmacies per 100,000 population. Given that over 50% of the population of Suffolk lives in areas defined as rural, the density of community pharmacies varies significantly between each locality (Map A). Table 27 provides a breakdown, by locality, of average number of community pharmacies per 100,000. This table should be used as a guide only, as it does not give any indication of the pharmacies' opening hours.

Map A shows population densities, community pharmacies and dispensing GP practices. With a high proportion of the population of Suffolk living in a rural area, inevitably residents in some less densely populated areas will incur increased travel times to access community pharmacy or dispensing GP practice services. 3.1.1 Choice of community pharmacies Table 28 shows the breakdown of community pharmacy ownership, as provided by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC). This data shows that the ownership of pharmacies by multiples was less than the national average in Suffolk. For clarity, an Independent contractor is not a member of the Company Chemists' Association (CCA) or Association of Independent Multiple Pharmacies (AIMp), whereas those considered multiples are a member of the CCA or AIMp. Table 28: Community pharmacy ownership, 2015-16119

Area Multiples (%) Independent (%) England 62 38 East of England SHA 60 40 Suffolk HWB 49 51

Three pharmacies have closed since the 2015 PNA including one distance-selling pharmacy – see section 3.4: • Your Local Boots Pharmacy, 34 St Matthew's Street, Ipswich IP1 3EP • Howells and Jolley Ltd, 100 High Street, Southwold, Suffolk IP8 6DP • Blackbay Ventures Ltd (T/A Chemistree), Unit 12, Acorn Business Centre, Oaks Drive, Newmarket CB8 7SX (this was not included in total number of pharmacies in 2015) One pharmacy opened since the 2015 PNA: • Glemsford Pharmacy, The Surgery, Lion Road, Glemsford CO10 7RF 3.1.2 Weekend and evening provision In 2014, it was estimated that community pharmacies in England were open for 150,000 hours per week more than the 10 years previously.120 This has mainly been driven through the opening of ‘100-hour’ pharmacies. There are now 1,161 pharmacies in England open for over 100 hours per week, which has risen from 773 in 2014. In Suffolk there are 21 community pharmacies open for 100 hours per week or more. This has increased from 20 in 2015, with the additional 100-hour pharmacy being located in Waveney.

Table 29 shows that Suffolk has a much greater percentage of its pharmacies open for 100 hours or more when compared nationally and regionally. All 100-hour pharmacies in Suffolk are open late-night midweek and at the weekends. Table 29: 100-hour pharmacies

3.2 Dispensing Appliance Contractors (DACs) There are two dispensing appliance contractors (DACs) in Suffolk: • Charles S Bullen Healthcare Ltd, 60 St Matthew's Street, Ipswich IP1 3EP • Fittleworth Medical Ltd, 25 Lower Brook Street, Ipswich IP4 1AQ Appliances may be dispensed from community pharmacies and dispensing GP practices. As part of the essential services of appliance contractors, a free delivery service is available to all patients. It is therefore likely that patients will obtain appliances delivered from DACs outside the HWB area. There were 112 DACs in England 2015-16.121 3.3 Dispensing GP practices NHS legislation allows for GPs in certain areas to dispense NHS prescriptions for defined populations within rural communities. Geographical areas permitting dispensing by a GP practice are known as controlled localities. NHS England must define controlled localities as areas which are rural in character and therefore suitable for the provision of dispensing services by GP practices. It is the responsibility of NHS England to maintain controlled locality maps for Suffolk.

121 General Pharmaceutical Services in England – NHS Digital 2015-16

73

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

Currently NHS England is assessing the controlled locality maps with a view to ensuring that the maps are published in a consistent manner across the country. While this assessment is being undertaken, any enquires regarding the map should be directed to the contract manager for pharmaceutical services in the East of England Area Team. There have been no changes to the controlled locality map since the publication of the last PNA in January 2015 and that is reproduced below. Figure 34: Map from previous PNA (2015) for Suffolk showing determined controlled localities. A map for Great Yarmouth and Waveney was not available.

There are 77 GP practices in Suffolk (April 2017), of which 43 provide dispensing services. This figure hasn’t changed since the previous PNA produced in 2015. Provision of pharmaceutical services by a GP to a registered patient is only permissible by a GP practice, previously granted rights to dispensing, to a patient who is able to prove one of the following: • that the patient would have serious difficulty in obtaining any necessary drugs or appliances from pharmacy premises because of distance or inadequacy of means of communication • that the patient lives in a controlled locality at a distance of more than 1.6 km from any pharmacy premises (with the exception of distance-selling premises) and the doctor has outline consent and premises approval for the premises from which they would provide services • if the doctor or the practice has historic rights and the patient needs to rely on those. As well as living in a controlled locality at a distance of more than 1.6 km from any pharmacy premises (with the exception of distance-selling premises) the patient must meet other defined criteria.

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

Table 30 lists the numbers of patients eligible for dispensing from a dispensing GP practice. West Suffolk CCG and Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG lie entirely within Suffolk, while Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG lies partly in Suffolk. Using the combined total of these three CCGs as a proxy measure, approximately 15% of the total population of Suffolk is eligible for dispensing from their GP practice. Further detail is provided in Table 30. Table 30: List of patients eligible for dispensing services from a dispensing GP practice122

Number of patients % of total eligible for dispensing CCG registered CCG services from a population dispensing GP practice (2013 ONS estimates) Great Yarmouth and Waveney 17,747 7.9% West Suffolk 100,282 14.1% Ipswich and East Suffolk 85,640 22.3% Total 203,669 15.4%

A list of GP dispensing practices in Suffolk can be found in Appendix A. NHS Choices website was accessed on 19th May 2017 to confirm GP practice opening hours and the information can be seen in Appendix A. In Suffolk, 43 dispensing practices (98%) are open after 6pm for at least one evening per week and 12 (27%) are open on Saturdays. No dispensing practices in Suffolk are open on Sundays. There has been no change from 2015. 3.4 Distance-selling pharmacies A distance-selling pharmacy provides services as per the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013. It may not provide essential services face-to-face and therefore provision is by mail order and/or wholly internet. As part of the terms of service for distance-selling pharmacies, provision of all services offered must be provided to anyone in England who requests them. It is therefore likely that patients within Suffolk will be receiving pharmaceutical services from a distance-selling pharmacy outside the HWB area. The public questionnaire identified that just over 10% of respondents do report using an internet (distance-selling) pharmacy. The one distance-selling pharmacy that used to be in Suffolk has now closed:

• Blackbay Ventures Ltd (T/A Chemistree), Unit 12, Acorn Business Centre, Oaks Drive, Newmarket CB8 7SX Figures for 2015-16 identify that there were 266 distance-selling pharmacies in England. 3.5 Access to community pharmacies The majority of community pharmacy providers in Suffolk are sited in areas co-located with shops, GP practices or other routine destinations; many also provide extended opening hours. The White Paper, ‘Pharmacy in England: Building on strengths – delivering the future’,123 noted that 99% of the population – even those living in the most deprived areas – can get to a community pharmacy within 20 minutes by car and 96% by walking or using public transport. A previously published article124 suggests that over 89% of the population of England has a maximum 20-minute walk to a community pharmacy, however this figure falls to as low as 14% in rural areas. The same study found that access is greater in areas of high deprivation. Higher levels of deprivation are linked with increased premature mortality rates. Populations are generally denser in urban areas. Map A describes the population density of Suffolk and location of community pharmacies and dispensing GP practices. The most densely populated local authority areas are Ipswich and north-eastern parts of Waveney. A high concentration of community pharmacies can also be found in these areas. A list of community pharmacies in Suffolk and their opening hours can be found in Appendix A. 3.5.1 Routine weekday daytime access to community pharmacies and dispensing GP practices Average drive time, walking and public transport travel times to community pharmacies and dispensing GP practices for Suffolk population can be found in Appendix I. Travel analysis data, as shown in Appendix I, shows that 100% of the population of Suffolk has an average drive time to a community pharmacy or dispensing GP practice within 25 minutes. Around 86% have access within a 20-minute public transport journey, while just over 69% have a maximum 20-minute walk. Almost 25% have a walk of over 30 minutes to their nearest pharmacy.

From the results of the public questionnaire (Appendix M), 77% of respondents’ report using a regular or preferred community pharmacy, 69% report their choice as it is ‘near to home’, while 55% report as it is ‘near to their GP surgery’. 62% of respondents travel by their own transport, 31% walk, 2% by bike and 3% by public transport. 80% report their travel time to their community pharmacy or dispensing GP practice takes less than 15 minutes. Only 8% of respondents report a difficulty in travelling to their pharmacy. For some residents, the nearest provider of pharmaceutical services may be across the border in the neighbouring HWB areas. Given the largely rural nature of this HWB area many residents will be familiar with significant travel times, particularly in the evenings and at weekends, to access other services such as a supermarket. A sample of some of the community pharmacies within easy access of Suffolk locality borders providing services are listed in Table 31.

3.5.2 Routine weekday evening access to community pharmacies and dispensing GP practices The number, location and opening hours of community pharmacy and dispensing GP practice providers open beyond 6.30pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) varies within each locality; they are listed in Table 32 below. Please note that some providers and GP practices are only open beyond 6.30pm on certain days and only the opening times for those days are given below. These providers will be open on other weekdays but not beyond 6.30pm. Full details of opening times for all community pharmacies and GP dispensing practices can be found in Appendix A. Considering ‘average’ access is difficult given the variety of opening hours and locations, access is therefore considered at locality level.

There is access to pharmaceutical services on Saturdays in all localities, although in some areas greater distances are required to be travelled and/or access is provided from cross-border providers. No issues regarding access to pharmaceutical services on Saturdays were raised from the public questionnaire. 3.5.4 Routine Sunday daytime access to community pharmacies The number, location, and opening hours of community pharmacy providers open on a Sunday vary within each locality.

There are just over one in four community pharmacy providers in Suffolk open on Sundays. Access is generally good, although as would be expected of access to many services, residents in rural areas may experience additional travel time compared with weekdays and Saturdays. No issues regarding access to pharmaceutical services on Sundays were raised from the public questionnaire.

3.5.5 Routine bank holiday access to community pharmacies Community pharmacies are not obliged to open on nominated bank holidays. While many opt to close, a number of pharmacies (often those in regional shopping centres, retail parks, supermarkets and major high streets) opt to open, often for limited hours. The number, location and opening hours of community pharmacy providers open on a bank holiday vary within each locality and on different bank holidays. Number of pharmacies open across the bank holidays for May and August in 2017 has ranged from 22 to 24. NHS England commission a Christmas Day and Easter Sunday service and review provision after each Christmas, New Year and Easter bank holiday. Commercial factors often dictate many pharmacies' decision to open or not during bank holidays. No issues regarding access to pharmaceutical services on bank holidays were raised from the public questionnaire. 3.6 Advanced service provision from community pharmacies Section 1.3 lists all advanced services which may be provided under the pharmacy contract. As these services are discretionary, not all providers will provide them all of the time. Data available from the NHS Business Services Authority and posted on the website of the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee (PSNC)125 has been used to demonstrate in Appendix A which pharmacies had claimed (and therefore provided) MUR, NMS and flu vaccination services in 2015/16. The data shows that around 98% of community pharmacies in Suffolk are providing the MUR service (an increase from 90% reported previously), around 95% are providing the NMS service and 63% provided the flu vaccination service (2015/16 season). Information on provision of AURs and SACs is presented at HWB level. The latest data available is for 2015-16 and is presented in Table 35. Table 35: Percentage of community pharmacies and dispensing appliance contractors by HWB, providing AURs and SACs, 2015-16126

Demand for the appliance advanced services (SAC and AUR) is lower than for the other two advanced services due to the much smaller proportion of the population that may require the services. Pharmacies and DACs may choose which appliances they provide and may also choose whether or not to provide the two related advanced services. 3.7 Enhanced service provision Under the pharmacy contract, enhanced services are those directly commissioned by NHS England. Therefore, any locally-commissioned services commissioned by CCGs or the local authority are not considered here. The East of England Area Team of NHS England currently commissions the following services: • rota service – there is often a recognised gap in service provision on the following bank holidays: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day and Easter Sunday. As part of its responsibility to ensure the ongoing provision of pharmaceutical services to support out-of-hours services, NHS England undertakes to commission rota services on these days when required. The link provides details of the rota service: https://www.england.nhs.uk/mids- east/our-work/pharm-info. Future commissioning is informed after a review of the previous commissioned rota service. • for the provision of potassium iodate – this service is commissioned as part of NHS England’s emergency planning responsibilities to help manage any radiation leak from the Sizewell power station. This is a very small pharmaceutical service and is provided from only two community pharmacies near to Sizewell, in Leiston. o Leiston Pharmacy, 20 High Street, Leiston IP16 4EW o Lloyds Pharmacy Ltd, 62 High Street, Leiston IP16 4BZ The following pharmacy services are included here for information only: Hospitals: West Suffolk Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust, James Paget University NHS Hospital, Felixstowe Hospital, Aldeburgh Hospital, Newmarket Hospital and Bluebird Lodge Community Hospital all provide inpatient and outpatient dispensing services directly to the patient. Minor injury units: Felixstowe Community Hospital and Beccles and District War Memorial Community Hospital provide an assessment and treatment service for minor illness and minor ailments. Prisons: in Suffolk there are three male prisons: HMP Highpoint (North and South), HMP and YOI Hollesley Bay and HMP Warren Hill. A pharmaceutical service is provided to the prisoners of these prisons and is directly contracted with the Health and Justice Team of NHS England (Midlands and East of England region).

HMP Highpoint (North and South) has an on-site pharmacy whereas external providers supply all medications to HMP and YOI Hollesley Bay and HMP Warren Hill. 3.8 Pharmaceutical service provision provided from outside Suffolk HWB area Suffolk is bordered by three other HWB areas: Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Essex. Maps A, B and F show the cross-border pharmacies within easy reach of Suffolk HWB from which Suffolk residents may access pharmaceutical service provision. Suffolk residents may also access service provision from the 266 distance-selling (internet) pharmacies and 112 DACs in England. 3.9 Locally-commissioned services Appendix A provides a summary of locally commissioned services within Suffolk pharmacies. It is important to note the commissioning status of each service as this defines whether or not it is a locally-commissioned service. Please note data collection methods have changed since the 2015 PNA so activity data is not directly comparable. Locally-commissioned services are included within this assessment where they affect the need for pharmaceutical services or where the further provision of these services would secure improvements, or better access, to pharmaceutical services. Suffolk County Council currently commission the following locally-commissioned services from community pharmacies: • chlamydia screening • chlamydia treatment • Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) • stop smoking support • needle exchange* • supervised consumption* • NHS Health Checks* *These services are not open for all community pharmacies. The selection of pharmacies is based on local commissioning decisions. The only CCG-commissioned services from community pharmacies currently are the palliative care drugs service and emergency supply of medicines in the Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG. The CCG commission the palliative care service from only a small number of community pharmacy providers to ensure ongoing access to drugs. The emergency supply of medicines is open to all pharmacy contractors within the CCG so no separate list appears in Appendix A.

Section 4: Other services which may impact on pharmaceutical services provision

Community pharmacies and dispensing GP practices provide a range of other services. These are not considered pharmaceutical services under the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013 and may be either privately funded or commissioned by NHS England, the Local Authority or the CCG. 4.1 Other services provided by dispensing GP practices Although not listed as a pharmaceutical service within the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013, Dispensing Review of Use of Medicines (DRUMs) may be provided by a dispensing GP practice which has opted to provide the Dispensing Services Quality Scheme (DSQS). The DSQS is an optional service commissioned by NHS England for dispensing GP practices to provide annually. A DRUM is a face-to-face review with the patient to find out their compliance and agreement with their prescribed medicines and to help identify any problems that they may be having. The dispensing GP practices in Suffolk were sent a dispensing GP practice questionnaire to complete in Spring 2017. All GP practices completed the questionnaire. A copy of the questionnaire can be found in Appendix E. The survey identified that 96% of dispensing GP practices confirmed that they are participating in the 2015/16 DSQS and 96% participate in DRUM. Other information provided from the dispensing GP practice questionnaire can be found in Appendix K. 4.2 Healthy Living Pharmacy The political intention and context for Healthy Living Pharmacies (HLPs) was set out in the 2008 pharmacy White Paper, ‘Pharmacy in England: Building on Strengths, Delivering the Future’.127 This called for community pharmacies to have a greater role and participation in public health provision as healthy-living hubs. This fuelled the pioneering work in Portsmouth to develop the HLP framework and subsequent high profile National Pathfinder Study in which Suffolk participated. In Suffolk, this programme continues to be led by Suffolk LPC, in collaboration with the public health team and large range of partner agencies and stakeholders. HLPs put their local community’s health and wellbeing at the core of everything they do. They consistently deliver a range of services to a high quality and are recognised with a HLP Quality Mark. The HLP framework involves a system-wide approach to support change across the profession and within the workplace, an organisational development tool and a brand that unites community pharmacy while changing public perceptions about what community pharmacy can offer in supporting their health.

4.2.1 Healthy Living Pharmacy enablers Important HLP enablers to support delivery include: • workforce development • engagement with the community and other providers • premises that are fit for purpose and support health promotion 4.2.2 Healthy Living Pharmacy and local priorities To date, significant benefits have been realised from HLPs by commissioners, contractors and employees and, imperatively, the public have fully welcomed the concept. Analysis of the National Pathfinder reports indicated the value of HLPs for: • commissioners showing that community pharmacies are able to deliver health and wellbeing services to meet local health needs • public health teams who understood the potential for HLPs to deliver these types of health services effectively • contractors – the results of the quantitative survey to assess the benefits of HLP status on contractors was positive for all contractor types. Implementation of the HLP concept was seen as worthwhile for the business by over 70% of contractors. Community pharmacies are a local asset and an important resource for Suffolk communities – especially for those that may not access other NHS services. The HLP framework was launched in September 2010, and in March 2011 the national pharmacy bodies started working with DH to launch the HLP pathfinder programme, which resulted in an evaluation being published in April 2013. Following this, Public Health England (PHE) adopted the concept and supported the roll-out in pharmacies across the country. Suffolk pharmacies have been involved with the project since 2011 when they were chosen as a Pathfinder Site for national roll-out.

Table 36: The Healthy Living Pharmacy Framework

Since 2015, Suffolk County Council has supported the roll out of HLP Level 1 across the county and this has been project-managed by Suffolk LPC. This involved funding the provision of Health Champion Training for members of the pharmacy team and support for developing leadership skills in each pharmacy involved in the roll-out. Evidence folders were provided to each pharmacy and support was given to pharmacy teams to collect relevant information and to link with other organisations to better support the health of their communities. Pharmacies were assessed against the locally-agreed HLP standards which incorporated all the national guidance, and pharmacies achieved accreditation when all the standards had been demonstrated. In October 2016, HLP Level 1 became one of the Quality Payment criteria under the new funding model for the National Pharmacy Contract. At this point, pharmacies moved to the Public Health England Quality Criteria for HLP Level 1 Self- assessment128. Suffolk LPC, with the continued support of Suffolk County Council, has committed to provide training, materials and support to pharmacies as they engaged with the new process with a view to achieving Level 1 accreditation in all pharmacies. The HLP Quality Mark is a useful and important platform by which existing and new public health pharmaceutical services can be developed to target areas of local need, as well as services that can be made available for everyone.

This includes services that can assist with earlier identification, screening and management of risk factors for life-shortening diseases, reducing premature deaths and major morbidity, and targeting pharmaceutical support for patients with long-term conditions to enhance quality of life, reducing health inequity and health inequalities. This will be increasingly important as the NHS seeks to develop new models of care that are patient-centred and focus care in the community in a way that frees up GP time and reduces the burden on out-of-hours services and secondary care. Suffolk pharmacies are therefore well placed to support such services as they develop. At present, there is no published list of pharmacies which have achieved the HLP Quality Mark under the Quality Criteria, however the twenty pharmacies which achieved accreditation to HLP Level 1 through the initial Suffolk County Council scheme in 2015- 16 can be found in table 37. Additional pharmacies accredited by the Royal Society of Public Health are available https://www.rsph.org.uk/our-services/registration-healthy- living-pharmacies-level1/register/east-of-england.html Table 37: Pharmacies which have achieved HLP1 under the County Council scheme

4.3 Collection and delivery services From both the pharmacy contractor questionnaire and dispensing GP practice questionnaire, 88% of community pharmacies and 74% of dispensing GP practices provided free home delivery services on request. Both groups often noted restrictions on areas and/or to which specific patient groups they offered free delivery. 100% of pharmacies who responded offer to collect prescriptions from GP surgeries on behalf of their patients. This is an increase from only 95% of respondents willing to provide this service in 2015. Free delivery is required to be offered without restriction by all distance-selling (internet) pharmacies to patients who request it throughout England. There is no distance-selling pharmacy based in Suffolk, but there 266 throughout England. Free delivery of appliances is also offered by DACs. There are two DACs based in Suffolk providing services nationally and there are a further 110 throughout England. 4.4 Provision of services to nursing and residential care homes Elderly patients require proportionally more medicines than younger people. Results from the pharmacy contractor questionnaire indicate that currently only 4% provide a service to care homes commissioned via the CCG or LA, but 64% indicate they would be willing to provide if commissioned. The dispensing GP questionnaire identifies 19- 25% of dispensing GP practices provide medicines to care home residents. The opening of a new care home may provide a significant increase in dispensing for a pharmaceutical service provider. Appendix J provides a list of larger new care homes planned. Care home pharmaceutical service provision is often a specialised function within community pharmacies. Community pharmacy provision to care homes is often centralised, therefore may not necessarily be provided by the nearest local provider. The information provided in Appendix J therefore should not be interpreted as an indication of need of pharmaceutical service provision within the locality of the planned care home. The impact on local pharmaceutical service providers should be monitored as new care home builds are completed. 4.5 Out-of-hours GP service and Extended Hours Ipswich and Suffolk CCG commission a GP-Plus service which aims to provide access to a GP appointment outside of normal GP practice working hours. The patients of all Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG practices can access this service. The table below identifies the locations where this service takes place and their opening times. Bank holiday openings are as Saturday.

Section 5: Findings from the public questionnaire

A public questionnaire about pharmacy provision was developed (Appendix C) and compiled by Suffolk PNA Steering Group. This was circulated to the following groups including via a link on the Local Authority’s website: • community pharmacies in the Suffolk • GP practices • patient groups in Suffolk A total of 500 questionnaires were received from a range of Suffolk residents. This is down from 610 replies in 2015. A full summary of the results can be found in Appendix M. Of the respondents, 62% visit their pharmacy at least once a month, either for themselves or someone else, and just under 77% use a regular or preferred provider. Just under 69% of respondents rated ‘close to home’ as important, which is an 11% increase on the 2015 PNA; 55% rated ‘near to GP surgery’ as important, which has shown an increase from the 2015 PNA by 8%. Friendliness and efficiency were also highly regarded. The majority of respondents (89%) visit the pharmacy for their own needs, while 54% do so on behalf of a family member. Those that visit on behalf of someone else, state that the reason they visit the pharmacy is that it is the 'most convenient'. Provision of a collection and home delivery service was important to 84% of respondents. The most common form of travel to their chosen pharmacy is by car (62%). Walking is used by 31% of respondents, which is down from the 2015 PNA by 7%, and 3% use public transport, which is similar to 2015 PNA. The results indicate that 2% travel by bike. Only 1% of respondents have a journey of over 30 minutes to their pharmaceutical service provider, with 80% reporting less than 15 minutes, and 92% report no difficulties when travelling to a pharmacy. Of those who do report an issue with travelling to their pharmacy, 48% report parking difficulties, 14% availability of public transport and 11% the actual location of the pharmacy. The survey identifies that Monday to Friday are the most convenient days to visit a pharmacy, with only 10% preferring Saturday and 1% Sunday. Preferred visiting time varies for 50% of respondents, 42% prefer to visit between 9am and 6pm, 7% prefer early evening and less than 1% prefer to visit after 8pm. When asked about the buying of over-the-counter medications, 59% of respondents purchase items at least once a month or more. The questionnaire asked respondents to indicate if they had ever used an internet pharmacy to obtain medicines and 10% indicated they had done so. For those who did use an internet pharmacy, 85% rated the service as excellent or good.

102

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

Of those respondents who made additional comments, the vast majority made positive comments about friendly, efficient staff and the service offered. However, a handful commented about services being inefficient, too busy, not enough helpful staff or having poor parking/location. When asked about which services respondents would like to see provided by their local pharmacy, 94% identified the routine services that are provided in all pharmacies as their preferred choices e.g. repeat dispensing, advice from pharmacist, buying OTC medication and disposal of unwanted medicines. However, there was also interest in seeing other services which are less commonly provided e.g. supervised consumption of methadone (53%), immediate access to specialist drugs (70%) and needle exchange (53%). Some of the questions permitted more than one answer, resulting in totals above 100%.

Section 6: Analysis of Health Needs and Pharmaceutical Service Provision 6.1 Localities within Suffolk As described in Section 1.5, the PNA Steering Group decided that the Suffolk HWB PNA should be divided into seven localities, which are identical to those used in the 2015 PNA. These are the localities of Babergh, Forest Heath, Ipswich, Mid Suffolk, St Edmundsbury, Suffolk Coastal and Waveney. Most health data is available at this level. Suffolk HWB has identified the necessary services, described in Section 1.3, as essential services and advanced services as required by Paragraphs 1 and 3 of Schedule 1 to the Pharmaceutical Regulations 2013. Suffolk HWB has identified the enhanced services in Section 3.7 as pharmaceutical services which secure improvements or better access, or which have contributed towards meeting the need for pharmaceutical services in the area of Suffolk. Suffolk HWB has identified the locally-commissioned services in Section 3.9 which secure improvements or better access, or have contributed towards meeting the need for pharmaceutical services in the area of Suffolk. Other relevant services. - A change in service provision (see above in 3.) is due to local commissioning decisions. 6.2 Babergh locality 6.2.1 Necessary services: current provision The population of Babergh locality is 89,215: 12% of the Suffolk population. It is a relatively healthy area, recording amongst the lowest rates of all-cause mortality in England. However, rates of CVD and hypertension are higher than seen nationally. There are 17 community pharmacies and six dispensing GP practices in Babergh locality, which is an increase of one community pharmacy from the 2015 PNA. Three are open for 100 hours or more per week. The rate of community pharmacies (19 per 100,000 population) is less than national (21.5) and Suffolk rate (19.7) but, when the seven dispensing GP practices in Babergh are included, the rate increases to 26.9 pharmaceutical service providers per 100,000 population. There are six PhAS pharmacies in the Babergh locality. Access to pharmaceutical services in the evenings and weekends is good, with a number of providers in Babergh open. There are also a number of accessible providers open in neighbouring localities and HWB areas. All community pharmacies provide the MUR and NMS advanced services. 6.2.2 Necessary services: gaps in provision A number of new housing developments are planned for the Babergh locality.

104

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

While a number of these are significant, it is considered that there are adequate pharmaceutical service providers locally with sufficient capacity to ensure a continuity of provision to these new developments.

No gaps in the provision of necessary services have been identified for Babergh locality.

6.2.3 Other relevant services: current provision Provision of local authority-commissioned services is described in Appendix A. There are six (35%) providers of the supervised consumption service and four (23%) providers of the needle exchange service. The sexual health service is provided by ten (59%) community pharmacies and the stop smoking service is provided by 11 (65%) providers. This figure has decreased significantly from 2015 when 94% of community pharmacies provided the stop smoking service. Babergh does however have the lowest smoking-attributed mortality rate compared to the other localities in Suffolk. 6.2.4 Improvements and better access: gaps in provision Figures for Suffolk indicate that 15.2% of patients registered with a GP are recorded as having hypertension, a higher rate compared to the East of England at 14.1% and England at 13.8%. However modelled estimates at locality level indicate the figure could be much higher, and there may be a large proportion of Suffolk residents with undiagnosed hypertension. Babergh has a modelled estimated prevalence of 23.2% for hypertension and a further 13.3% undiagnosed. It would therefore suggest there is scope for improvement in identifying and treating those with hypertension. Should this be a priority target area for commissioners, they may want to consider the current provision and uptake of screening services from community pharmacies, to help improve the identification of those with hypertension and direct them to appropriate treatment and follow-up. Consideration should be given to incentives for further uptake from current providers and extending provision through community pharmacies. There are no community pharmacies providing services overnight from Wednesday to Sunday inclusive in the Babergh locality. Based upon the results of the public and pharmacy contractor questionnaires, consultation on the draft PNA, provision of 100- hour pharmacies in Suffolk compared to nationally and regionally, and access to pharmacies across Suffolk or in neighbouring HWB areas, there is no evidence to suggest there is a gap in service which would equate to the need for access to essential services outside normal hours in this locality. Suffolk HWB will monitor the uptake and need for necessary services. It will also consider the impact of any changes in this locality in the future which may provide evidence that a need exists.

105

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

No gaps in service provision have been identified for Babergh locality.

6.3 Forest Heath locality 6.3.1 Necessary services: current provision The population of Forest Heath is 63,691, which is 8.6% of the population of Suffolk. Forest Heath is the least populated locality in Suffolk. As demonstrated in Map A, large parts of Forest Heath are sparsely populated. There are 11 community pharmacies, a decrease of one from 2015, and seven dispensing GP practice providers, which has increased by one from 2015, in the locality. This results in an overall rate of 28.2 pharmaceutical service providers per 100,000 population. There is one community pharmacy open for 100 hours or more per week and two community pharmacies open in the evenings, which has remained unchanged from 2015. In addition, Thetford in the north, Cambridge in the west and Bury St Edmunds in the east are a short distance from the locality borders where there are a number of providers open late. There are three PhAS pharmacies in the locality. All the community pharmacies in Forest Heath locality provide the MUR and NMS advanced services. 6.3.2 Necessary services: gaps in provision A number of new housing developments are planned in the locality. Suffolk HWB will consider the change in health needs in Forest Heath locality as the housing developments listed in Appendix J progress through the three-year time horizon of the PNA. Suffolk HWB will consider the views from the public, pharmacy contractors and other stakeholders when considering the changing health needs of the residents of Suffolk.

No gaps in the provision of necessary services have been identified for Forest Heath locality.

6.3.3 Other relevant services: current provision There are eight (73%) providers of the supervised consumption service, and five providers (41%) of the needle exchange service. The sexual health services are now only provided by six providers (54%) from previous eight community pharmacies and the stop smoking service continues to be provided by nine (82%) providers.

106

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

6.3.4 Improvements and better access: gaps in provision Although in Suffolk the cardiovascular disease mortality rate overall is lower than the national average, there is a higher rate of mortality for males in Forest Heath. When considering COPD, Forest Heath has the highest rate of mortality when compared to the rest of Suffolk. If deemed a priority for commissioners, improved outcomes may be possible through a review of current service provision and providers to further increase access to related services. Forest Heath locality has a sizeable all year round visiting population due to the Centre Parcs holiday village in Elveden Forest. There are pharmacies in the surrounding villages of Brandon, Lakenheath and Mildenhall. Although none are open on Sundays or weekday evenings after 6:30pm, there are a number of pharmacies open in nearby Bury St Edmunds, Thetford (Norwich HWB area) and Newmarket. There is therefore sufficient and reasonable access to pharmaceutical services. However, there remains no commissioned service to provide for those visitors who have arrived at Centre Parcs forgetting to bring their prescribed medication. A private service may be offered from community pharmacies (patients have to pay at least the net cost of the medicines supplied), although some patients may access urgent care services under the NHS to have a prescription supplied to obtain their medication. Based upon the results of the public and pharmacy contractor questionnaires, there is no evidence to suggest there is a need for a new or improved service. There are no community pharmacies providing services overnight in the Forest Heath locality. Based upon the results of the public and pharmacy contractor questionnaires, consultation on the draft PNA, provision of 100-hour pharmacies in Suffolk compared to nationally and regionally, and access to pharmacies across Suffolk or in neighbouring HWB areas, there is no evidence to suggest there is a gap in service which would equate to the need for access to essential services outside normal hours in this locality. Suffolk HWB will monitor the uptake and need for necessary services. It will also consider the impact of any changes in this locality in the future which may provide evidence that a need exists.

No gaps in service provision have been identified for Forest Heath locality.

6.4 Ipswich locality 6.4.1 Necessary services: current provision Ipswich is the most populated locality in Suffolk, providing residence to a population of 135,600, which is 18.3% of Suffolk. The BME population is the highest in Suffolk (11.1% versus 4.7% in Suffolk as a whole, and 14.6% in England). The population is amongst the most deprived in the country. Ipswich locality has the highest rates of new STI diagnoses. Latest published data (2015) indicates the Ipswich locality to have one of the highest prevalence rates of smoking overall and the third highest in routine and manual occupations. The population of Ipswich locality has 33 community pharmacies (24.2 per 100,000 population) which is higher than the average in England (21.5 per 100,000 population). Four of these community pharmacies are funded under PhAS. There are no dispensing GP practices in Ipswich. Five pharmacies (15%) are open for 100 hours a week or more. Six are open in the evenings, seven on Sundays and the large majority (27) open on Saturdays. All the community pharmacy providers provide the MUR service and 32 the NMS advanced service. 6.4.2 Necessary services: gaps in provision Ipswich locality will see a number of significant housing developments in the coming three years. A significant housing development (3,500 units) is planned within the Ipswich Garden Suburb, however, no commencement date is available at this time. Suffolk HWB will consider the change in health needs in Ipswich locality as the housing developments listed in Appendix J progress through the three-year time horizon of the PNA. Suffolk HWB will consider the views from the public, pharmacy contractors and other stakeholders when considering the changing health needs of the residents of Suffolk.

No gaps in the provision of necessary services have been identified for Ipswich locality.

6.4.3 Other relevant services: current provision There are 26 (79%) providers of the supervised consumption service and 15 providers (45%) of the needle exchange service, which is a decrease of seven providers from 2015. However, the service is not open to all pharmacies and the selection of pharmacies is based on local commissioning decisions and should not be seen as a drop in service. The sexual health service is provided by 22 (67%) community pharmacies and the stop smoking service is provided by 27 (82%) providers. No change from 2015 PNA. If deemed a priority by commissioners, there may be an opportunity to improve uptake through reviewing incentives to current providers and the current provider list.

108

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

6.4.4 Improvements and better access: gaps in provision Although the control of blood sugar and blood pressure is similar or better than the national average for diabetes within the Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG, the control of cholesterol is worse than the national average. There may be scope for community pharmacies to help support patients and encourage them to undertake regular monitoring and compliance with medication. In addition, mortality rates from COPD are higher than the Suffolk average in Ipswich. If deemed a priority for commissioners, improved outcomes may be possible through a review of current service provision and providers to further increase access to related services. Premature mortality rate is highest in Ipswich locality. There are no community pharmacies providing services overnight in the Ipswich locality. Based upon the results of the public and pharmacy contractor questionnaires, consultation on the draft PNA, provision of 100-hour pharmacies in Suffolk compared to nationally and regionally, and access to pharmacies across Suffolk or in neighbouring HWB areas, there is no evidence to suggest there is a gap in service which would equate to the need for access to essential services outside normal hours in this locality. Suffolk HWB will monitor the uptake and need for necessary services. It will also consider the impact of any changes in this locality in the future which may provide evidence that a need exists. 6.4.5 Other services Consideration should be given as to how services are tailored to meet any specific needs of the BME populations, which account for 11.1% of the total population of this locality. An estimate from the Roma community suggests there are around 1,100 Romanian and Bulgarian Roma living in Ipswich.

No gaps in service provision have been identified for Ipswich locality.

6.5 Mid Suffolk locality 6.5.1 Necessary services: current provision Mid Suffolk locality has a total population of 99,632 which is 13.4% of the population of Suffolk as a whole. This locality has areas which are amongst the least 20% deprived in England and it has one of the highest life expectancy rates in Suffolk for males and females, both of which are higher than the national averages. Mid Suffolk had the lowest new STI diagnosis rate at 325 per 100,000, significantly lower than the England rate (2015 figures). Recently recorded teenage pregnancy rates show that Mid Suffolk has a below-average rate, when compared to the rest of Suffolk and the England average (2015 figures).

109

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

However, 71% of teenage conceptions in Mid Suffolk resulted in abortion. The latest figures for smoking rates show that Mid Suffolk has the lowest prevalence of all the localities and one of the lower attributable mortality rates. Given its largely rural geography, there is the greatest number of dispensing GP practices (ten) in this locality. There are 14 community pharmacies, resulting in the lowest ratio in Suffolk of 14.1 pharmacies per 100,000 population. However, if we include GP dispensing practices, this figure rises to 24.1 pharmaceutical service providers per 100,000 population. One pharmacy is open for 100 hours or more per week and two open in the evenings which is a decrease of one from previous PNA. There are eight PhAS pharmacies in the locality. 6.5.2 Necessary services: gaps in provision A number of significant housing developments are planned or are being built in Mid Suffolk, particularly in and around Stowmarket (1,500 units). Suffolk HWB will consider the change in health needs in Mid Suffolk locality as the housing developments listed in Appendix J progress through the three-year time horizon of the PNA. Suffolk HWB will consider the views from the public, pharmacy contractors and other stakeholders involved in these developments when considering the changing health needs of the residents of Suffolk.

No gaps in the provision of necessary services have been identified for Mid Suffolk locality.

6.5.3 Other relevant services: current provision There are six (43%) providers of the supervised consumption service, and two providers (14%) of the needle exchange service. The provision of these two services are not open to all pharmacies and the selection of providers is based on a local commissioning decision. The sexual health services are provided by ten (71%) community pharmacies and the stop smoking services provided by 11 (78%) providers. 6.5.4 Improvements and better access: gaps in provision There are no community pharmacy providers providing services overnight in Mid Suffolk locality. Based upon the results of the public and pharmacy contractor questionnaires, provision of 100-hour pharmacies in Suffolk compared to nationally and regionally and access to pharmacies across Suffolk HWB area or in neighbouring HWB areas, there is no evidence to suggest there is a gap in service which would equate to the need for access to essential services outside normal hours in this locality. Suffolk HWB will monitor the uptake and need for necessary services.

110

It will also consider the impact of any changes in this locality in the future which may provide evidence that a need exists.

No gaps in service provision have been identified for Mid Suffolk locality.

6.6 St Edmundsbury locality 6.6.1 Necessary services: current provision The population of St Edmundsbury locality is 112,523 which is 15.2% of the population of Suffolk. The locality has the highest rate of statutory homeless population in the HWB. In this locality, 19 community pharmacies provide services - an average of 16.9 providers per 100,000 population. There are 24.1 pharmaceutical service providers per 100,000 population when the eight dispensing GP practices are taken into consideration. Five community pharmacies (26.3% of the total for this locality) are open for 100 hours per week or more. Seven pharmacies are open in the evenings. There are four PhAS pharmacies in the locality. 6.6.2 Necessary services: gaps in provision There are a number of new housing developments planned in St Edmundsbury locality. Over 50% of which are planned for the Bury St Edmunds area. Suffolk HWB will consider the change in health needs in the St Edmundsbury locality as the housing developments listed in Appendix J progress through the three-year time horizon of the PNA. Suffolk HWB will consider the views from the public, pharmacy contractors and other stakeholders when considering the changing health needs of the residents of Suffolk.

No gaps in the provision of necessary services have been identified for St Edmundsbury locality.

6.6.3 Other relevant services: current provision There are 15 (79%) providers of the supervised consumption service, an increase of three from the previous PNA and five providers (26%) of the needle exchange service. The sexual health service is provided by 13 (68%) community pharmacies, which is an increase of three more pharmacies compared to 2015, and the stop smoking service is provided by 15 (79%) providers, which is an increase of four providers compared to the 2015 PNA.

6.6.4 Improvements and better access: gaps in provision There are no community pharmacies providing services overnight in St Edmundsbury locality. Based upon the results of the public and pharmacy contractor questionnaires, consultation on the draft PNA, provision of 100-hour pharmacies in Suffolk compared to nationally and regionally, and access to pharmacies across Suffolk HWB area or in neighbouring HWB areas, there is no evidence to suggest there is a gap in service which would equate to the need for access to essential services outside normal hours in this locality. Suffolk HWB will monitor the uptake and need for necessary services. It will also consider the impact of any changes in this locality in the future which may provide evidence that a need exists

No gaps in service provision have been identified for St Edmundsbury locality.

6.7 Suffolk Coastal locality 6.7.1 Necessary services: current provision The population of Suffolk Coastal locality is 125,052 which is 16.8% of Suffolk population as a whole. Over one in four residents are over the age of 65 and the locality has the highest life expectancy for females in the HWB. Suffolk Coastal has the highest number of people in medical/care communal establishment settings. Pharmaceutical services are provided by 24 community pharmacies and eight dispensing GP practices. There are 19.2 community pharmacies per 100,000 population and 24 pharmaceutical service providers per 100,000 population, if dispensing GP practices are included. Two community pharmacies are open for 100 hours or more per week and eight are open in the evenings. There are five PhAS pharmacies in the locality. 6.7.2 Necessary services: gaps in provision Several housing developments are planned for the locality, the largest of which is planned for the Martlesham area (2,000 units). This could provide an issue with regard to pharmaceutical service provision and Suffolk HWB will consider the change in health needs in Suffolk Coastal locality as the housing developments listed in Appendix J progress through the three-year time horizon of the PNA. Suffolk HWB will consider the views from the public, pharmacy contractors and other stakeholders involved in these developments when considering the changing health needs of the residents of Suffolk.

No gaps in the provision of necessary services have been identified for Suffolk Coastal locality.

6.7.3 Other relevant services: current provision There are 11 (46%) providers of the supervised consumption service, and six (25%) providers of the needle exchange service. The sexual health service is provided by 13 (54%) community pharmacies, a decrease of three providers, and the stop smoking service is provided by 18 (75%) providers, from the previous 22 (92%) in 2015 PNA. Two community pharmacies provide a locally-commissioned enhanced service to provide potassium iodate tablets to employees at Sizewell Nuclear power stations to limit exposure to ionising radiation in the unlikely event of an accidental release. 6.7.4 Improvements and better access: gaps in provision Suffolk Coastal has a large number of visiting tourists. Currently, visitors arriving without their prescribed medication can either, pay for a private supply from a community pharmacy at the discretion of the pharmacist, or make an appointment with a GP as a temporary resident to obtain a prescription. An opportunity exists, if deemed a priority by the commissioners, to make improvements and better access to the emergency supply of medicines through the commissioning of an emergency supply service from community pharmacies in tourist areas. Figures for Suffolk indicate that 15.2% of patients registered with a GP are recorded as having hypertension, a higher rate compared to the East of England at 14.1% and England at 13.8%. However modelled estimates at locality level indicate the figure could be much higher, and there may be a large proportion of Suffolk residents with undiagnosed hypertension. Suffolk Coastal has a modelled estimated prevalence of 23.4% and a further 13.2% undiagnosed. It would therefore suggest there is scope for improvement in identifying and treating those with hypertension. Should this be a priority target area for commissioners, they may want to consider the current provision and uptake of screening services, including health checks, that could be provided by local community pharmacies. Consideration should be given to incentives for further uptake from current providers and extending provision through community pharmacies. There are no community pharmacies providing services overnight in the Suffolk Coastal locality. Based upon the results of the public and contractor questionnaires, consultation on the draft PNA, provision of 100-hour pharmacies in Suffolk compared to nationally and regionally, and access to pharmacies across Suffolk HWB area or in neighbouring HWB areas, there is no evidence to suggest there is a gap in service which would equate to the need for access to essential services outside normal hours in this locality. Suffolk HWB will monitor the uptake and need for necessary services. It will also consider the impact of any changes in this locality in the future which may provide evidence that a need exists.

6.8 Waveney locality 6.8.1 Necessary services: current provision The population of Waveney is 116,182, which is 15.6% of the total Suffolk population. This locality has the highest percentage of over-65s (26.3%). It has one of the lowest life expectancies for both males and females in the HWB. Prevalence of diabetes and depression are higher than the England average. It also has the lowest percent of physically active residents in the HWB. There are 28 pharmacies and four dispensing GP practices in this locality. This equates to 24.1 community pharmacies per 100,000 population and 27.6 pharmaceutical service providers per 100,000 population. Three community pharmacies are open for 100 hours or more per week, and four are open in the evenings. All dispensing GP practices are open weekday evenings up to 18:30, none are open on Saturday or Sunday (previously two were open on all or some Saturdays). There are two PhAS pharmacies in the locality. 6.8.2 Necessary services: gaps in provision There is only one housing development of 250 dwellings or more planned over the lifetime of this PNA. This is a development of 1,440 units in the Kirkley Waterfront and Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood. However, it is anticipated that there will be limited completion within the lifetime of this PNA. This will require consideration in future years beyond the duration of this PNA. Suffolk HWB will consider the change in health needs in the Waveney locality as the housing development listed in Appendix J progresses through the three-year time horizon of the PNA. Suffolk HWB will consider the views from the public, pharmacy contractors and other stakeholders involved in these developments when considering the changing health needs of the residents of Suffolk HWB area.

No gaps in the provision of necessary services have been identified for Waveney locality.

6.8.3 Other relevant services: current provision There are 16 (57%) providers of the supervised consumption service, and 16 pharmacy contractors (57%) provide the needle exchange service. The sexual health service is provided by 21 (75%) pharmacy contractors, this is a reduction from 26 (90%) previously. Stop smoking service is provided by 16 (57%) pharmacy contractors, again this is a reduction from 25 (86%) providers previously reported.

6.8.4 Improvements and better access: gaps in provision Waveney locality has a large number of visiting tourists. Currently, visitors arriving without their prescribed medication can either pay for, pay for a private supply from a community pharmacy at the discretion of the pharmacist, or make an appointment with a GP as a temporary resident to obtain a prescription. However Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG does commission an 'emergency supply service' which is available from all community pharmacy contractors in the CCG. Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG is the poorest performing across all three measures for diabetes control. There may be scope for community pharmacies to help support patients and encourage them to undertake regular monitoring and compliance with medication. In addition, data from 2014/15 shows that admissions to hospital due to CHD are higher than the England average. There are no community pharmacies providing services overnight in the Waveney locality. Based upon the results of the public and pharmacy contractor questionnaires, provision of 100-hour pharmacies in Suffolk compared to nationally and regionally, and access to pharmacies across Suffolk HWB area or in neighbouring HWB areas, there is no evidence to suggest there is a gap in service which would equate to the need for access to essential services outside normal hours in this locality. Suffolk HWB will monitor the uptake and need for necessary services. It will also consider the impact of any changes in this locality in the future which may provide evidence that a need exists.

No gaps in service provision have been identified for Waveney locality.

Section 7: Summary and conclusions When assessing the provision of pharmaceutical services in Suffolk HWB area and each of the seven PNA localities, Suffolk HWB has considered the following: • the map showing the location of pharmacies within Suffolk in relation to ward, locality and population density indicating that pharmacies are generally located within areas of higher population density (Map A) • the population densities • the Index of Multiple Deprivation and deprivation ranges within Suffolk across the seven PNA localities (Figure 13) and map H. • ethnicity levels (Table 7) across all seven PNA localities • the percentage of population of Suffolk and the average drive, public transport and walking times to nearest community pharmacy or dispensing GP practice (Appendix I) • using average drive time, all residents can access a pharmacy or dispensing GP practice by car within 25 minutes (Appendix I) • using average walking times, 69% of Suffolk residents can access a pharmacy or dispensing GP practice within 20 minutes (Appendix I) • the location of pharmacies and dispensing GP practices within each of the seven PNA localities and across the whole HWB area (Maps A to C) • the number, distribution and opening times of pharmacies and dispensing GP practices within each of the seven PNA localities and across the whole Suffolk (Appendix A) • the choice of pharmacies covering each of the seven PNA localities and the whole Suffolk (Appendix A) • results of the public questionnaire (Appendix M) • proposed new housing developments and care homes planned (Appendix J) • projected population growth (Section 2.3.3)

Suffolk has a current estimated population of around 741,895. The population rise between 2012 and 2037 is expected to be 13%. Suffolk has a high percentage of the population aged over 65 (20%). The population is generally affluent, compared to the England average, though pockets of significant deprivation exist. BME populations are lower than seen nationally and there are a number of small-to-medium traveller sites spread through the county. Over 15% of the population of Suffolk is eligible to have their prescriptions dispensed at their dispensing GP practice. From the public questionnaire, 77% of respondents report using the same provider for pharmaceutical services; 69% report that it is important their provider is ‘close to home’ and 55% report it is important they are ‘close to their GP practice’. Almost two thirds (62%) of respondents travel by car to their provider, while 31% walk.

Dispensing GP practices play a significant role, in addition to community pharmacies, in the provision of pharmaceutical services in Suffolk. There are 146 community pharmacies and 43 dispensing GP practices. In addition, there are two appliance contractors. Community pharmacies are more densely concentrated in populated areas and this generally matches areas of higher all-cause mortality and deprivation. Community pharmacies are therefore well-placed to provide services specifically targeted to improve health outcomes. There are 19.7 community pharmacies per 100,000 population in Suffolk, compared with 21.5 per 100,000 in England. A higher percentage of community pharmacies in Suffolk are open for 100 hours or more (14.4% versus 9.9% in England). Many dispensing GP practices and the majority of community pharmacies are open on Saturdays. Access to pharmaceutical services on bank holidays, overnight and on Sunday evenings is limited. There is no evidence to suggest there is a gap in service which would equate to the need for access to essential services outside normal hours anywhere in the HWB area. The majority of community pharmacies and dispensing GP practices offer a free delivery service and many have extended opening hours on weekday evenings and Saturdays. As evidenced from the public questionnaire, the number of respondents currently accessing pharmaceutical services via distance-selling pharmacies has risen to 10%. This compares to only 1% in the 2015 PNA. Of those who do use this service, 85% rate it as either excellent or good. Areas of Suffolk are frequented by holidaying visitors. In some places, this significantly increases the local populations and may provide extra strain on healthcare resources. No gaps in pharmaceutical service provision have been identified. Suffolk HWB recognise that the burden of health needs in Suffolk will increase as the population grows and ages and would welcome proactive proposals from commissioners, including NHSE and all CCGs to commission pharmacy services that meet local needs but are beyond the scope of the PNA.

We can then make extra efforts to reach underrepresented groups so that we can consider the views of all groups who may be affected by our plans. It also helps us ensure that everyone is treated fairly and equitably in everything we do. Without your information, we can't always spot trends and issues which enable us to make appropriate changes or improvements. All responses to these questions are anonymous; responses are added together and no individuals are identified.

Why do you want to know more about me? We are committed to building a community where everyone can flourish and achieve their full potential and the information you give us will help us achieve our commitment of being fair to all. We value diversity and acknowledge that our residents come from different backgrounds and have different needs, experiences and interests. It’s really important we get to know you better so that we can plan and deliver fair services that are tailored to residents’ needs. The information you give us will enable us to: • check whether or not our services are equally accessible to everyone who is entitled to them; • identify and address any barriers to accessing (information about) our services; • continually improve the services we deliver

What is an Equal Opportunities Form? Suffolk County Council monitors the age, disability, gender, race and preferred first language of our service users, as well as whether or not they have caring responsibilities for an adult or a child with a disability. Where relevant and appropriate to the service questionnaire, for example in relation to health or social care services, we also sometimes ask about the sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status and religion or belief of service users. We collect this information by asking you to fill in an Equal Opportunities Form. The form is very straightforward to complete. Who chooses the questions listed on the Equal Opportunities Form? The questions in the Equal Opportunities Form are based on legislation (Equality Act 2010); advice from advisory bodies (Equality and Human Rights Commission) and best practice by other local authorities. Is it just Suffolk County Council that carries out equal opportunities monitoring? No. All local authorities across the country monitor characteristics such as the age, gender, disability and ethnic origin of those who use their services.

158

Draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board

Do I have to give you this information? No. All questions in the Equal Opportunities Form are voluntary. If you feel uncomfortable giving us this information, simply tick the ‘prefer not to say’ box or do not answer the question. However, we can’t get things right without your help so we ask you to help us by completing this form. I've already given you this information, why do you want it again? We recognise that people’s circumstances change all the time and we want to make sure that our services are reflective of people’s changing circumstances. Still have questions? If you have further questions or want more information about this form, please contact: Natacha Bines, Public Health Suffolk, Suffolk County Council, Endeavour House, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich IP1 2BX.

Appendix E: Dispensing GP practice questionnaire

Suffolk Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2018: Dispensing Practice Questionnaire What is this questionnaire about? As you may be aware, Suffolk County Council has a statutory duty to develop and publish a revised Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) at least every three years. The next PNA will be published by 1 April 2018. Work has been underway on the PNA for some time and I would like to update you on the process so far. A core Steering Group was established to lead the work. The Steering Group includes LMC representation. Information is being collated on the population and health needs of each of the localities in Suffolk. Alongside that, information is being collated on the pharmaceutical services that are currently available. The conclusions will start to be drawn leading to the draft PNA for consultation being completed by October 2017. All dispensing doctor contractors will be asked to comment as part of the consultation. To help us form a clearer picture of the services available to patients living in the more rural parts of the Health and Wellbeing Board area who may have problems accessing services, please can you answer the following questions by Friday 31 March 2017 at the latest, so that the information can be incorporated into the needs assessment. Who should complete the questionnaire? This questionnaire should be completed by the Dispensing Doctor / Practice Manager. The responses should be about the dispensary. If your practice offers dispensing services from several branch surgeries, please complete a return for each dispensing site. If you do not wish to answer a question for any reason, then leave it blank. If you would like to complete this online please go to: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/suffolk_dispensing

Appendix O: Equality Impact Assessment The characteristics protected by the Equality Act are: Disability Age Sex (gender) Gender reassignment Marriage/civil partnership Pregnancy/maternity Race Sexual orientation Religion/belief By law we must have due regard to the need to: (a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the Act (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it (c) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it. In effect, this means that we need to ensure that our policies and services are fair, equitable and proportionate and where possible mitigate against any adverse impacts on people from the different protected characteristics. In addition to the above protected characteristics you should consider the impact of living in a rural area as part of this assessment. Where people live is not a characteristic protected by law, but for an organisation such as Suffolk County Council it is good practice to consider carefully how location may affect people’s experience of a policy or service. The Rural-Urban definition (DEFRA) introduced in 2004, defines the rurality of very small census-based geographies. Census Output Areas forming settlements with populations of over 10,000 (which are urban), while the remainder are defined as one of three rural types: town and fringe, village or hamlet and dispersed.
