Introduction In Monmouthshire we are trying to do things differently in order to explore the potential to improve the way we currently use partnership data. We see unified needs assessment as a continual process rather than a one off annual report. The first step in this process is to produce a robust data analysis by highlighting exception states, patterns and trends in the Monmouthshire population using a wide range of appropriate and relevant measures. The data analysis in this report has been used in context with a wide range of key stakeholders and the public to discuss and identify the needs of the population in Monmouthshire. We have done this through a series of county wide “challenge and design” sessions involving all key stakeholders. We intend to triangulate statistical factual evidence with stakeholder opinion and voice, and best practice evidence. We call this the Needs Assessment Triangle (See Annex A). 2. Background Unification of the needs assessment process is fundamental to the “re-boot” of a modern partnership. It must not be seen as a one-off annual process through the production of a report. We will support our decisions and actions using a robust approach to engagement and further consideration of best practice and research. It is vital to improve the way we measure and evaluate the impact of our interventions. We will work closely with partnership colleagues to ensure we can demonstrate benefit. Therefore, the development of a strong performance management culture will place the emphasis on the evaluation of impact and benefit to the local population. We will also support doing things differently through creative design. A number of design sessions have been used to consider how we can start to explore doing things differently in partnership. The successful submission of the council‟s application to NESTA will help underpin our intent to deliver innovation, this allied to the councils Intrepreneurship School will create an environment and attitude which will support delivery and the challenge of achieving better outcomes for the people of Monmouthshire. The strategic needs assessment in this report is the start of the journey, not the end. It should be considered in context to help inform key stakeholders and the public about some of the emerging key themes, outcomes and needs for the people of Monmouthshire. Wherever possible we have tried to consider Monmouthshire against similar Local Authorities in Wales, and areas with a similar profile in England (See Annex B) and use national reports and evidence such as the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2011 (WIMD) to provide a positional overview of some of the main issues to be considered (See Annex C). 5 Monmouthshire Strategic Needs Assessment 3. General health and well-being profile 3.1 Overview We want people to live healthy and fulfilled lives. The physical and emotional health and wellbeing of people has a major impact on all aspects of their lives. It affects their ability to secure and maintain employment, and fulfil their roles as family members and parents. In young people, good health and wellbeing allows them to fully engaged with their education and interact with their peers. In our youngest children, their health at birth and in their early years has a lasting impact, either positive or negative, on their development and attainment. The overall health of a population can have a huge impact on the economic prosperity and quality of life it enjoys. If people‟s lives are affected by ill-health, it can impact on their ability to work and likely to increase the health and social care services they require. In older age being healthy helps people stay independent living in their own homes doing what they want, when they want, in their own way. 3.2 General health Overall, the health of people in Monmouthshire is good. Using the health domain in the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2011, there are no lower super output areas (LSOA) in Monmouthshire in the 10% most deprived LSOAs in Wales for health. Only one LSOA is in the top 30% most deprived and only eight LSOAs (13.8%) are in the 50% most deprived LSOAs in Wales. The distribution shown in Table 1 indicates that Monmouthshire has the best, or second best, across the comparator authorities in Wales at all four percentages points. Table 1: Distribution of LSOAs by Health domain, WIMD 2011 Local Authority Number 10% Most 20% Most 30% Most 50% Most of LSOAs Deprived Deprived Deprived Deprived Monmouthshire 58 0.0 1.7 1.7 13.8 Ceredigion 47 0.0 0.0 0.0 6.4 Pembrokeshire 71 4.2 7.0 12.7 36.6 Powys 80 2.5 3.8 7.5 17.5 Wales 1896 10.0 20.0 30.0 50.0 Source: National Public Health Service Poor health in adults can impact on their ability to gain and maintain employment. Being unable to work due to ill health will not only impact on a household‟s economic status, but also on its health and wellbeing. In particular, it can affect the mental health of individuals. The 2011 census indicates that the day to day activities of 3.7% of people aged 16-64 are limited significantly compared with 5.3% in Wales, with 4.6% reporting bad health and 1.4% very bad health. 6 Monmouthshire Strategic Needs Assessment 3.3 Birth rate There are a number of indicators which can be used to reflect the birth rate in a local population. The General Fertility Rate (GFR) which is the number of live births per 1000 women between the ages of 15 and 44 years provides a measure of trends in fertility levels.
