March 2018 CCG localities profile for 2017-18

Purpose

 This report presents key population and health data for the ten NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) localities in Hertfordshire. It includes current and future population structures as well as rates of selected emergency hospital admissions, premature mortality and recorded disease prevalence.  The data builds a picture of each CCG locality relative to others across the county and to its respective CCG.  It is intended to provide clinical commissioners with an overview of key indicators of health needs and health service demand in each locality area and is an update to the 2016 report.

Key messages

 There is considerable variation in health outcomes across Hertfordshire’s CCG localities, with rates of avoidable emergency admissions for acute and chronic conditions in localities with the highest rates double that of those with the lowest rates. The same is true for children admitted as an emergency for asthma, diabetes, epilepsy or lower respiratory tract infections, as well as premature mortality from respiratory disease and potential years of life lost from cerebrovascular disease.  Rates of emergency admissions for children with lower respiratory tract infections have seen a statistically significant increase over the last three years across Hertfordshire’s two main CCGs, whilst rates of emergency re-admissions within 30 days have decreased.  Hypertension (13%), obesity (8-9%) and depression (8-9%) have the highest prevalence of the GP QOF registers, in line with national trends.

Authors

 This profile was created by Claire Tiffany (Senior Public Health Analyst, Hertfordshire County Council), with input from David Hodson (Head of Information, NHS East and CCG) and Julia Lisk (Public Health & Programmes Information Lead, NHS Herts Valleys CCG). It was reviewed by David Conrad (Consultant in Public Health, Hertfordshire County Council).

CCG localities profile for Hertfordshire 2017-18 March 2018

Introduction Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) localities in Hertfordshire Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are NHS organisations responsible for planning, designing and buying health services on behalf of their local populations. Hertfordshire has two main CCGs: NHS East and North Hertfordshire CCG and NHS Herts Valleys CCG. Both CCGs consist of smaller geographical areas called ‘localities’ based on the registered populations of groups of GP practices. There are ten CCG localities in total, only three of which (, and , ) are coterminous with Hertfordshire’s ten local authority districts as shown in Figure 1.

NHS East and North Hertfordshire CCG Localities: CCG encompasses the areas covered by: • Lower Council • North Hertfordshire • District Council • Stevenage • North Hertfordshire District Council* • Stort Valley and Villages • Stevenage Borough Council • Upper Lea Valley • Hatfield Borough Council • *except for the Royston area which is covered by NHS and CCG

NHS Herts Valleys CCG Localities: CCG encompasses the areas covered by: • Dacorum • Dacorum Borough Council • • Hertsmere Borough Council • St Albans and Harpenden • St Albans City & District Council • and Three Rivers • Council •

Introduction

About the data Summaries of key findings for each of the CCG localities have been provided followed by a detailed breakdown of the data. Data are presented on population, deprivation, emergency admissions, mortality and Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) prevalence data for each CCG and for each CCG locality. GP practice level QOF prevalence tartan rugs for Hertfordshire’s two main CCGs are available from the data tools and reports section of www.hertshealthevidence.org .

Methodology and definitions

Populations: All indicators in this report use GP registered populations, except for the population projection estimates which use the resident populations. Registered populations are based on the location of the GP practice, whilst resident populations are based on where people live.

Directly age-standardised rates (DSR): Differences in hospital admissions and deaths between CCG localities will be partly due to the differences in the underlying population age structure. DSRs have been used to allow comparisons between localities with different demographic characteristics by controlling for the differences in the underlying population. The DSR for a locality is the number of admissions or deaths per 100,000 population that would occur in a ‘standard reference population’ if that standard population had the age-specific rates (based on 5-year age-bands) of the population of interest. This report uses ONS mid-year estimates for as the reference population.

Confidence Intervals (CIs): CIs are a measure of the statistical precision of a value (for example mortality rates) and show the range of uncertainty (caused by sample size and random variation) around the value. Calculations based on smaller sample sizes tend to result in wider CIs. The wider the CI the greater the uncertainty in the value. In public health, the conventional practice is to use 95% CIs. This represents the probability that the interval includes the true value. CIs are presented on the charts as bars or whiskers extending above and below the value. They are important to consider when interpreting data and comparing areas or trends to assess whether differences are ‘real’ or statistically significant. If the CIs around a figure do not overlap with the interval around another then we can be certain that there is a statistically significant difference between the data points. If the CI around a figure overlaps with the interval around another, we cannot say with certainty that there is more than a chance difference between the two figures.

Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL): PYLL from causes considered amenable to healthcare measures the number of years of life lost per 100,000 registered patients from conditions which are usually treatable. ONS 2014-based life expectancies have been used to calculate the PYLL in this report.

Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) GP recorded prevalence: The percentage of patients with selected diseases (cardiovascular, respiratory, mental health and neurology, musculoskeletal, high dependency and other long-term conditions) or obesity, as recorded on the practice disease register. QOF prevalence percentages are crude because they are not adjusted to account for patient age distribution or other factors that may differ between general practices. It can be difficult to interpret QOF registers as they are based on recorded rather than actual prevalence so may under-report certain groups or diseases. QOF registers may also reflect different coding practices and case finding priorities.

Introduction

‘Tartan Rugs’: Tartan rugs are colour coded data tables which allow quick comparison of a large number of indicators against a comparator area, in this case the respective CCG.

Each tartan rug comes with a key to help interpret the data. Cell colour is determined by statistical significance. Significance in this sense is a measure of whether any difference is statistically meaningful, rather than a subjective judgement. This involves colouring cells according to whether their confidence intervals, the margin of error associated with the value of the indicator, overlap the confidence intervals of the comparator area.

Areas where the confidence intervals overlap with the comparator area are said to be ‘Not Significantly Different’. Where confidence intervals do not overlap, higher or lower values can be judged to be ‘Significantly Better’ or ‘Significantly Worse’. Value judgements are not ascribed to the QOF indicators; for example, recorded instances of diabetes could be seen to be better because they are high (suggesting few unrecorded cases of diabetes) or because they are low (suggesting few cases of diabetes). In these cases, the terms ‘Significantly Higher’ or ‘Significantly Lower’ are used. The QOF tartan rug is based on 95% CIs using the Wilson method. This may differ from methodologies used elsewhere and on Public Health England data tools.

It is important to note that interventions should not be planned simply based on the colour of a cell in the rug in relation to a particular indicator but should also take into account the ability of an intervention to make a difference, current priorities in the area and associated factors which may affect the indicator. While an area may not be significantly different than the comparator area for a particular indicator, a robust intervention here could make more of an impact than a weak intervention on an indicator which is significantly worse.

Data Sources - Deaths (Local analysis using Primary Care Mortality Database, based on year of registration) - Emergency hospital admissions (Local analysis of Secondary Uses Service (SUS) data) - GP registered populations (NHS Digital) - Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015 (Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government) - Population Estimates and Projections (ONS) - QOF GP recorded prevalence (NHS Digital)

Methodological changes from 2016 report - Emergency admission rates are directly standardised against the England Mid-Year Estimate (previously European Standard Population) - NHS Herts Valleys CCG used different software to analyse hospital admissions - Life expectancies updated from 2012 to 2014 for Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL)

CCG localities profile for Hertfordshire 2017-18 March 2018

Summary: NHS East and North Hertfordshire CCG localities

Of the six CCG localities in NHS East and North Hertfordshire CCG, Stevenage experienced the poorest outcomes across the selected emergency hospital admission and mortality indicators, whilst Upper Lea Valley experienced the best. Welwyn Hatfield experienced statistically significant worsening in 7 out of 15 of the admission and mortality indicators, the most across the CCG localities. Lower Lea Valley has the highest deprivation levels but sits in the middle in terms of the selected outcomes.

CCG rates of emergency admissions for children with lower respiratory tract infections and potential years of life lost (PYLL) from respiratory diseases have both seen statistically significant increases over time, whilst emergency re-admissions within 30 days, PYLL (overall), PYLL from ischaemic heart disease and PYLL from cancer (neoplasms) have all decreased.

Hypertension (13.4%), obesity (9.0%) and depression (8.7%) have the highest prevalence of the 20 GP QOF registers, in line with national trends. Stevenage has the highest GP recorded prevalence of obesity and depression.

Population

CCG resident population projections 2014 based Office of National Statistics (ONS) population projections, below, show changes over the next ten years based on the CCG area people live in (the resident population). Population projections are available at local authority district level but not at GP practice or CCG locality level.

NHS East and North Hertfordshire CCG resident population is projected to increase by ten per cent over the next ten years to an estimated 626,100 in 2027. The largest increases are in the older age groups, with 24,700 (25%) more people aged 65 or over in 2027 compared to 2017 and 3,200 (62%) more people aged 90 or over as shown in Table 3 and population pyramid (right). Not all age groups are predicted to increase. A decrease of 7% is predicted for people in their 20s and 10% for those aged 50-54.

Deprivation

The Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2015 are used to identify the most deprived areas across England. They combine several indicators covering a range of economic, social, health and housing issues into a single deprivation score. There are also supplementary indices for income deprivation among children (IDACI) and older people (IDAOPI). Each Lower Super Output Area (LSOA), a sub-ward geography averaging approximately 1,500 people, in England has an IMD score, allowing the identification of small pockets of deprivation. IMD scores are a relative measure of deprivation. They can be used to identify if one area is more deprived than another but not by how much. A higher score represents a higher level of deprivation. IMD, IDACI and IDAOPI scores have been calculated for CCG locality populations by taking a population-weighted average of the IMD scores for each LSOA in which the given practices have registrations.

General Practice IMD scores are available from Public Health England’s General Practice profiles (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/general-practice) and an interactive map of local deprivation is available from: https://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/microsites/herts-insight/home.aspx (note: this website is maintained by Hertfordshire County Council’s Community Information & Intelligence Unit).

NHS East and North Hertfordshire CCG • Lower Lea Valley locality has the highest level of multiple deprivation (IMD), income domain affecting children (IDACI) and income domain affecting older people (IDAOPI) within the CCG (Table 5). • NHS East and North Hertfordshire CCG has five LSOAs in England’s most deprived quintile (fifth) for multiple deprivation (IMD) representing 1.5% of the resident population. Two are in Lower Lea Valley (Broxbourne 013C and 013D), two are in Stevenage (Stevenage 008D and 009A) and one is in North Herts (North Hertfordshire 009C). • In NHS East and North Hertfordshire CCG around 15% of children under 16 live in low income families and13% of older people aged 60 or experience income deprivation.

NHS Herts Valleys CCG • Watford and Three Rivers locality has the highest level of multiple deprivation (IMD), and income domain affecting children (IDACI) within the CCG, whilst Hertsmere is the highest for income domain affecting older people (IDAOPI) as shown in Table 3. • NHS Herts Valleys CCG has four LSOAs in England’s most deprived quintile (fifth) for multiple deprivation (IMD) representing 1.1% of the resident population. Two are in Watford and Three Rivers (Watford 009B; Three Rivers 012D), one is in Dacorum (Dacorum 008D) and one is in Hertsmere (Hertsmere 006C). Hertsmere 006C and Three Rivers 012D are also in England’s most deprived decile (10%). • In NHS Herts Valleys CCG around 12% of children under 16 live in low income families and 12% of older people aged 60 or experience income deprivation.
