  • Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby CCG Profile
    January 2019 North Yorkshire Joint Strategic Needs Assessment 2019 Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby CCG Profile Introduction This profile provides an overview of population health needs in Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby CCG (HRW CCG). Greater detail on particular topics can be found in our Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) resource at www.datanorthyorkshire.org which is broken down by district. This document is structured into five parts: population, deprivation, disease prevalence, hospital admissions and mortality. It identifies the major themes which affect health in HRW CCG and presents the latest available data, so the dates vary between indicators. Summary Life expectancy is higher than England. For 2011-2015, female life expectancy in HRW CCG is 84.2 years (England: 83.1), and male life expectancy is more than three years lower than for females at 80.9 years (England: 79.4) [1]. There is a high proportion of older people. In 2017, 25.1% of the population was aged 65 and over (36,100), higher than national average (17.3%). Furthermore over 4,300 (3.0%) were age 85+, compared with 2.3% in England. [2] Some children grow up in relative poverty. In 2015, there were 10.8% of children aged 0-15 years living in low income families, compared with 19.9% in England [1]. There are pockets of deprivation. Within the CCG area, 3 Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) out of a total of 95 are amongst the 20% most deprived in England. One of them is amongst the 10% most deprived in England, in the Whitby West Cliff ward [3].

This plan is intended to explain to Councillors, members of the public, to partner organisations and to our staff what the priorities of the Council are for the next five years. We want our customers to have a clear understanding of the issues that this Council believes are most important for the next five years. The Council has linked the planning for its resources to the priorities in this plan. We want to focus our effort on those things that will make the difference to the lives of people in Ryedale’s communities, targeting resources for those in greatest need. The Council Plan includes 5 Priorities that will guide the Council as it delivers services for the people of Ryedale district over the next five years, challenges to be met in the next 12 months, examples of the action to be taken to meet these challenges and performance indicators which will be used to manage delivery of the priorities. Also included is a summary of achievements against priorities made in the preceding year. Why have we chosen these priorities? Aim 1 To create the conditions for economic success There is a need to strengthen and diversify Ryedale's economy. Levels of unemployment are low but for those in employment wages are also low, making housing unaffordable for many. The Ryedale economy is currently over reliant on traditional industries that are associated with low pay there is strength in the advanced engineering, agri-food and creative economy and tourism sectors.
