This profile is intended to provide summary information on the health of the local population, to inform residents and support decision making. For more information on the health indicators found in this report, please see Hackney’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment – www.hackney.gov.uk/jsna More general Ward level information can be found on the council’s Shared Evidence Base website.1 There is also more information on Public Health England’s Local Health website,2 and the GLA also produces Ward level information.3 Notes on the data: Data sources: Much of the data come from local health services, including GP data extracted from EMIS via the Clinical Effectiveness Group at Queen Mary University. These data relate to diagnosed or recorded conditions so will not include undetected illness. In April 2015, geographically coded data were unavailable from 2 practices using a different IT system (the Dalston Practice in Hackney Central, and the Abney House Practice in Stoke Newington) – this makes the data for these areas somewhat less reliable, and will be improved in future versions of these profiles.
