GP Survey 2012/13 – A local view of services

 

 

 

 


1.    What is a Clinical Commissioning Group Locality Profile?

 

The Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) locality profile has been produced to provide information about the health needs of the local population, as part of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment for Bracknell Forest Council and the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead. This will support GP commissioners to identify the priorities for the local area and develop their commissioning priorities accordingly.

 

The profile will incorporate information from a variety of different national and local sources to:

-     illustrate the demography of the area

-     summarise key aspects of ill health

-     assess variations in health needs between practices in the locality, as well as comparing the CCG with the Berkshire region and England as a whole

 

 

 

1.1    Who is included in the Bracknell & Ascot CCG profile?

 

This profile will include information about people who are:

 

-     Registered with one of the 15 GP practices who belong to the CCG group

            (135,934 people as at 1/4/2011)

 

Binfield Surgery

Boundary House Surgery

Crown Wood Medical Centre

Easthampstead Surgery

Evergreen Practice

Forest End Medical Practice

Great Hollands Practice

Green Meadows Partnership

Heath Hill Surgery

Kings Corner Surgery

Magnolia House Surgery

Ringmead Medical Practice

The Gainsborough Practice

The Sandhurst Group Practice

The Waterfield Practice

 

 

 

-     Resident within the Bracknell & Ascot CCG boundary

            (approximately 131,296 people at Census 2011)       

 

   This resident group includes the population covered by Bracknell Forest Council and 2 wards in the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead (Ascot and Cheapside, Sunningdale).

 

A large proportion of people will be included in both the ‘registered’ and ‘resident’ population groups, as shown in the diagram to the left.  However, there will be a number of people who live inside the geographical boundary covered by the CCG who are not registered to a Bracknell & Ascot GP, as well as those who are registered with a Bracknell & Ascot GP who are not resident within the CCG boundary.

 

Wherever possible the ‘registered’ population information will be used in this profile, as this will directly link to the people who are being supported by Bracknell & Ascot CCG. However, some information may not be available at this level, so the resident population will be used instead. Each data source and table/chart shown included in this profile will be clearly labelled to show what population group is being used.

 

This locality profile has focussed on providing information that is available at a CCG level. As the Berkshire CCG boundaries are not coterminous with the different Local Authorities this does mean that some information is not currently available.

2.    Summary of Bracknell & Ascot CCG Profile

 

Population

·         Bracknell & Ascot CCG resident population is estimated to be 131,296 (Census 2011) and the registered population is 135,934.

·         The population profile is similar to the national average; with a slightly smaller proportion of adults aged 20 to 29 and a higher proportion aged 35 to 54.

·         The most deprived areas within the CCG boundary are Wildridings and Central, Crowthorne and Great Hollands North. These are all in the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in Berkshire.

 

 

Health Behaviour

·         Obesity: 9,372 people aged 16 and over are on the CCG’s Obesity Register (8.6% of population). The highest prevalence for obesity is in Great Hollands North ward of Bracknell Forest Council.

·         Obesity: 7.7% of children aged 4-5 and 14.7% of children aged 10-11 are obese.

·         Binge drinking: Nearly 22% of people who live in  specific neighbourhoods within Crown Wood and Hanworth are defined as binge drinkers

·         Health eating: Neighbourhoods in the Priestwood and Garth ward had the lowest proportion of healthy eaters in the CCG at 21.7%.

 

 

Health

·         There were 25,180 emergency admissions into hospital over a three year period (2006-2008).

·         The prevalence of cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease and diabetes in Bracknell & Ascot CCG is very similar to prevalence profile of Berkshire. These are all lower than the national prevalence rate.

 

 

Patient Satisfaction

·         In the latest GP Survey, Bracknell & Ascot CCG performed significantly better than the Berkshire CCG average in the proportion of people that would recommend their GP surgery to someone moving into the area and with the proportion of people who found it easy to contact the out-of-hours GP services by phone.

·         The CCG scored significantly lower than the Berkshire CCG average in the percentage of people who felt they were overheard in the GP reception and also in the overall experience of making an appointment at the surgery.

 

 

3.    Demography

 

3.1  Population

 

The 2011 ONS Census reported that the resident population for the Bracknell & Ascot CCG locality is 131,296. The population profile is similar to the national average, with a slightly smaller proportion of adults aged 20 to 29 and a higher proportion aged 35 to 54.

 

The registered population for Bracknell & Ascot CCG is higher at 135,934. This discrepancy will be made up of people who live outside of the CCG boundary. Figure 2 shows the registered population profile of Bracknell & Ascot CCG compared with the national profile.

3.2  Ethnicity

 

The 2011 census shows that 9.5% of the resident population of Bracknell & Ascot CCG are from a Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) group. An additional 6.4% are from a White non-British background, such as White Irish, Gypsy, Irish Traveller or European.

 

Figure 8: Ethnicity breakdown for the non White-British resident population of Bracknell & Ascot CCG (ONS Census 2011)

 

 

18,466 (14.1%) of the resident population were born outside of the UK and 2,187 (1.7%) have been resident in the UK for less than 2 years.

 

 

3.3  Employment

 

71.2% of the resident population were in employment during the 2011 census (aged 16-74). This compares with 67.9% across Berkshire and 61.9% nationally.

 

In total 3,137 people were registered as unemployed at the point of the census and 38% of these were long-term unemployed. 1,958 people were also economically inactive due to being long-term sick or disabled.

 

 

3.4    Deprivation

 

The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) combines a number of indicators to measure the level of deprivation in an area. These cover seven different domains, including crime, health deprivation and disability, employment, education, skills and training, barriers to housing and services and living environment.  The IMD enables neighbourhoods, or Super Output Areas (LSOAs), to be ranked against each other according to their level of deprivation. Each LSOA covers a population of 1000-3000 people and an area with a higher IMD score will be more deprived than another.

 

The Bracknell and Ascot CCG area is made up of 80 LSOAs. 48 (60%) of these are in the 20% least deprived areas in the country and none of them are in the 20% most deprived nationally. 3 LSOAs within the Bracknell and Ascot CCG boundary are in the 20% most deprived LSOAs in Berkshire. These include neighbourhoods in 3 Bracknell Forest Council wards (Wildridings and Central, Crowthorne and Great Hollands North).  

 

GP practices can also have an IMD score, which is based on the weighted average of the IMD scores for each LSOA they have registrations in.

4.2    Lifestyle

 

4.21     Obesity

 

Obesity is indicated when an individual’s BMI is over 30. It increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, depression, bone disease and joint problems and decreases life expectancy by up to nine years.

 

The Bracknell & Ascot CCG area have an obesity prevalence rate of 8.6% in the aged 16+ registered population. This is approximately 9,372 people. This prevalence rate is lower than both the Berkshire CCG area of 8.9% and the national prevalence rate of 10.7%. 

 

Figure 13: Obesity prevalence for people aged 16 and over by GP Practice compared with the overall prevalence rate for Bracknell & Ascot CCG  and all Berkshire CCGs (NHS Information Centre)

 

 

 

The National Child Measurement Programme measures the prevalence of obesity in 4-5 year olds (Reception) and 10-11 year olds (Year 6). Data from 2008/09 to 2010/11 shows that  Bracknell & Ascot CCG have a lower prevalence rate in both age groups compared with the overall Berkshire CCG and national prevalence rates.

4.22     Binge drinking

Harmful drinking is a significant public health problem in the UK and is associated with a wide range of health problems, including brain damage, alcohol poisoning, chronic liver disease, breast cancer, skeletal muscle damage and mental health. Alcohol can also play a role in accidents, acts of violence, criminal behaviour and other social problems.

 

Binge drinking is defined separately for men and woman. Men are defined as having indulged if they have consumed 8 or more units of alcohol on the heaviest drinking day in the previous seven days and for women this is 6 or more units. The 2007/08 Health Survey indicated that the English prevalence for binge drinking was at 20.1%.

 

The map in figure 16 shows the level of binge drinking across the Bracknell & Ascot CCG from 2006-08 modelled data. The areas in dark green show Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs) that have a higher level of binge drinking. Neighbourhoods in Crown Wood and Hanworth have the highest prevalence of binge drinking in the CCG with 21.9% and 21.6% respectively.

4.23     Healthy Eating

A diet rich in fruit and vegetables can help to protect against the development of heart disease and certain cancers. It is estimated that eating at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables each day could reduce the risk of death from chronic diseases by up to 20%

The Healthy eating indicator is defined as the percentage of people that eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables every day. A portion is defined as an 80g serving.

 

The modelled data from the 2006-08 Health Surveys indicated that 28.7% of people were ‘healthy eaters’ in England.

 

The map in figure 17 shows the level of healthy eating across the Bracknell & Ascot CCG from 2006-08 modelled data. Darker green sections show Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs) that have a higher level of healthy eating and lighter greens show areas that have fewer ‘healthy eaters’. Neighbourhoods in the Priestwood and Garth ward had the lowest proportion of healthy eaters in the CCG at 21.7%.

5.      Health

 

5.1        Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the second largest cause of death in England, accounting for 29% of all deaths in 2011. Around 46% of all deaths from CVD are from coronary heart disease (CHD) and almost a fifth from stroke (18%). Most deaths caused by cardiovascular disease are premature and could easily be prevented by making lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and stopping smoking. With an ageing population and the current levels of obesity and diabetes in the region, preventative work is essential in reducing mortality and morbidity and narrowing inequalities.

 

5.11   Cardiovascular Disease prevalence profile for Bracknell & Ascot CCG

 

Prevalence is a measure of the burden of a disease in the population at a particular point in time. This section provides information about the prevalence of different Cardiovascular diseases in the CCG area, compared with the national and regional prevalence rates. This is taken from the Quality and Outcomes Framework for 2011/12. The figures shown here are based on the total registered population of the CCG and GPs and will not take the demographic profile of an area into account.

5.12   Quality of Care

 

The Quality Outcomes Framework (QOF) is a system to remunerate GP practices for providing good quality care to their patients and to help fund work to further improve the quality of care delivered. The QOF indicators that are used to monitor care for Cardiovascular Diseases are included below and come from the 2011/12 dataset. These show Bracknell & Ascot CCG’s performance compared with all of the Berkshire CCGs and the national average. Additional graphs have also been included where Bracknell & Ascot CCG’s performance is significantly lower than the Berkshire CCG average.

5.14 Mortality

 

In 2011, 59 people under the age of 75 died from cardiovascular disease in Bracknell & Ascot CCG. The graph in figure 39 shows this mortality rate against the rest of the country.

 

It is worth noting that this information cannot be directly compared with previous 3-year mortality data. This is not currently available at CCG level, so that is why a single year’s data has been used here.

5.2  Cancer

 

Whilst the rate of cancer deaths is now decreasing, cancer is still a key cause of early death in the UK and across Berkshire. The incidence in those aged under 75 is increasing and more than one in three people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime. In the UK, the most common types of cancer are breast, prostate, lung, bowel, bladder and uterine (womb).

Up to a third of cancer cases are preventable and are linked to lifestyle and health behaviours, such as smoking, obesity, diet and alcohol.

5.3    Respiratory Disease

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the most common respiratory diseases in the UK and is the second most common cause of emergency admissions to hospital. It usually affects people over the age of 35, although most people are not diagnosed until they are in their fifties. It is thought there are over 3 million people living with the disease in the UK, of which only about 900,000 have been diagnosed.

The prevalence of asthma in England is amongst the highest in the world. Asthma is responsible for a large number of emergency admissions to hospital each year. Deaths from asthma have remained at 1000-1200 each year since 2000, but it is estimated that 90% of these are associated with preventable factors.

In July 2011 the National Outcomes Framework for COPD and Asthma was published and includes a strategy for improving outcomes for COPD and asthma through high-quality prevention, detection and treatment and care services.

5.5    Mental Health

Mental illness is the single largest cause of disability in the UK. At least one in four people will experience a mental health problem at some point in their life and one in six adults have a mental health problem at any one time. Approximately 1% of the UK population has a severe mental health problem and many will have begun to suffer from this in their teens or early twenties.

A new Mental Health Outcomes Framework was published in 2011, which aims to provide better mental health for all and to increase the numbers of people recovering from mental illness. The NHS Outcomes Framework 2012/13 also contains three improvement areas relating specifically to mental health, which includes premature mortality in people with serious mental illness, employment of people with mental illness and patient experience of community mental health services.

According to the Alzheimer’s Society, there are around 800,000 people in the UK with dementia. One in three people over 65 will develop dementia and two-thirds of people with dementia are women. The number of people with dementia is increasing because people are living longer. It is estimated that by 2021, the number of people with dementia in the UK will have increased to around 1 million.
