  • A Spatial Microsimulation Analysis of Health Inequalities and Health Resilience Phil Mike Jones
    A Spatial Microsimulation Analysis of Health Inequalities and Health Resilience Phil Mike Jones September 2017 2 Abstract Health inequalities persist despite decades of effort to reduce them. Faced with a reduction in public spending, contraction of the welfare state, and rising inequality it is likely that health inequalities will increase for years to come. A better understanding of health resilience, which areas and individuals are resilient, and what factors might ‘protect’ their health outcomes might help develop policies to break down the link between disadvantage and health. This research contributes to the understanding of health resilience in the case study area of Doncaster, South Yorkshire. As a former mining town, Doncaster is exposed to significant economic disadvantage reflected in many settlements across the North East, North West, Midlands, and South Wales. Previous geographical research into health resilience has been limited either to small–area information with basic health outcomes, or more sophisticated measures of health outcomes but geographically aggregated to large regions. Using spatial microsimulation, I present the first estimate of health resilience at the small–area level using measures of health previously inaccessible to researchers. This is complemented by a systematic scoping literature review of measures hypothesised to affect health resilience. I simulate a broad range of these alongside clinical depression and income to explore a more comprehensive range of factors than have previously been possible. This includes small– area and individual–level factors, which are difficult to separate. I conclude by comparing geographical proximity of a number of health 3 amenities to resilient and non–resilient areas in Doncaster, and by evalu- ating local and national policies such as Universal Credit and their likely effect on the residents of Doncaster and their resilience.

Therefore, the existing Green Belt designation has a Area Assessment role in preventing sprawl which would only otherwise be prevented by features lacking in durability (Purpose 1, Score 4). • Conisbrough 5 supports a series of land gaps within and neighbouring the General Area. These include land gaps between Conisbrough and Maltby; Conisbrough and New Edlington/ the south of Warmsworth; New Edlington and Maltby; New Edlington and Balby; and New Edlington and Wadworth. Based on the number of land gaps and their role, the General Area was considered to have a mixed role in preventing neighbouring towns from merging (Purpose 2a, Score 4). The existing Green Belt boundary within Conisbrough has had a mixed role in preventing ribbon development (Purpose 2b, Score 3). • Due to the topography, extensive views and countryside character, development in this area would have a negative impact on the physical landform of the General Area.

  • On July 5 1948, the Brass Band from the Yorkshire Main Colliery Trooped up to the Doctor’S Surgery in Edlington, South Yorkshire and Began to Play
    On July 5 1948, the brass band from the Yorkshire Main Colliery trooped up to the doctor’s surgery in Edlington, South Yorkshire and began to play. The doctor hung the union flag out of the window and gave them all a drink. The NHS had arrived. Re-enacting this historic event on Sunday 8 July, 2018 Background to today’s event The NHS was born on 5 July, 1948, when GP surgeries, hospitals, doctors, nurses and a numerous other workers came together to form a giant health organisation funded from taxes and free at the point of need. On that historic day, health minister Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan went into what’s now called Trafford Hospital, Manchester to meet patients and announce the launch of the NHS. As he was doing so, 70 miles away in the mining village of Edlington, Doncaster, the village was also heralding the birth of free healthcare for all with its own musical tribute. The brass band from Yorkshire Main Colliery triumphantly marched down the road to the village’s GP surgery – then based in a large detached house opposite the cemetery -and played a number of celebratory tunes. Dr James O’Donnell – affectionately known as Dr Jimmy - hung a Union Jack flag from his window and gave them all a drink – the NHS had arrived. And almost exactly 70 years on, Edlington is today remembering this historic event by re-enacting the parade made by the pit bandsmen. Yorkshire Main closed in 1986 and Dr Jimmy’s surgery is now a private home, see alongside.
