This is a new fingertips profile that uses data from Local Health an existing PHE data tool.
Local Health is a collection of quality assured health information presented for small geographical areas.
By presenting data for small areas, Local Health provides evidence of inequalities within local areas. It supports targeted interventions to reduce such inequalities.
Local Health contains indicators related to:
Population and demographic factors
Wider determinants of health
Health outcomes
It presents data for middle super output areas (MSOA), electoral wards, clinical commissioning groups (CCG), local authorities, and England as a whole.
Please note, as the Local Health tool was designed to allow users to map small area data, a mapping option has not been provided in this profile.
