  • Health Social Care and Well Being an Assessment of Need for the Vale of Glamorgan (2008-11)
    HEALTH SOCIAL CARE AND WELL BEING AN ASSESSMENT OF NEED FOR THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN (2008-11) SUMMARY REPORT CONTENTS INTRODUCTION DEMOGRAPHY DEATH, DISEASE AND DISABILITY Mortality Morbidity HEALTH AND WELL-BEING Lifestyle Environment Health and social care provision HEALTH NEEDS OF SPECIFIC GROUPS People with chronic conditions Older people People with mental health problems Children and young people People with disability Carers HEALTH INEQUALITIES NEXT STEPS GLOSSARY APPENDIX 1: MAPS 2 INTRODUCTION The Vale of Glamorgan is generally perceived to be a good place to life, and has a significant number of the most affluent areas in Wales. A national survey recently declared it to be one of the best places in Britain to bring up a family, being the only Welsh district to make the top 20 out of 408 local authorities across Britain. Most indicators of health, social care, and well being show that the Vale does much better than the Welsh average. A Public Opinion survey (2005) found 87% of respondents were proud to live in the Vale, compared to 80% in 2003. 74% were satisfied with the overall services provided by the Council, compared to 68% in 2003. However, there are several localities, particularly in Barry, where deprivation is amongst the highest in Wales. Also people living in rural areas of the Vale can have difficulty accessing services. This is the second health needs assessment, part of an ongoing, inclusive process based on evidence and consensus that aims to provide a clear understanding of the state of health locally. It has been produced in accordance with the Health, Social Care and Well-being Strategies (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2007, and will underpin the Health Social Care and Well-Being Strategy (2008-11) by: • Addressing the public health agenda at local level; • Supporting implementation of the Community Strategy and other local strategies and frameworks; • Informing priority setting and commissioning.
