  • 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].

  • Local Government Review in the Scarborough Borough Council Area, North Yorkshire
    Local Government Review in the Scarborough Borough Council Area, North Yorkshire Research Study Conducted for The Boundary Committee for England April 2004 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of Key Findings 5 Methodology 9 Definitions of Social Grade and Area 13 Topline Findings (Marked-up Questionnaire) 15 Introduction This summary report presents the key findings of research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England in the Scarborough Borough Council area, North Yorkshire. The aim of the research was to establish residents’ views about alternative patterns of unitary local government. Background to the Research In May 2003, the Government announced that a referendum would take place in autumn 2004 in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions on whether there should be elected regional assemblies. The Government indicated that, where a regional assembly is set up, the current two-tier structure of local government - district, borough or city councils (in this report called ‘districts’) and county councils - should be replaced by a single tier of ‘unitary’ local authorities. In June 2003, the Government directed The Boundary Committee for England (‘the Committee’) to undertake an independent review of local government in two-tier areas in the three regions, with a view to recommending possible unitary structures to be put before affected local people in a referendum at a later date. MORI was commissioned by COI Communications, on behalf of the Committee, to help it gauge local opinion. The research was in two stages. First, in summer 2003, MORI researched local residents’ views about local government and how they identify with their local community.
