Projecting Adult and Older People Populations and Needs

Two websites have been developed and supported by the Department of Health Care Services Efficiency Delivery (CSED) Programme, with the Institute of Public Care, Oxford Brookes University, with the aim of giving easy access to forecasts of the numbers, charactersitics and needs of adults and older people by locality.

  • PANSI - (Projecting Adult Needs and Service Information) - provides information on the population aged 18 to 64
  • POPPI - (Projecting Older People Population Information System) - provides information on the population aged 65 and over

These sites are designed to bring together relevant information for council planners and commissioners of adult social care, and to provide a consistent starting point for examining the needs of adults and older people within the JSNA framework. They use forecasts based on the 2001 Census and current trends and therefore do not predict "expected" outcomes. Registration is required to view the information.

This needs assessment has been complied by the Wiltshire Community Safety Partnership in line with National Treatment Agency guidance to assess the Adult Drug Treatment needs of Wiltshire. The assessment informs the Adult Drug Treatment Plan 2011/12, as well as the wider Joint Strategic Needs Assessment.

Cardiovascular disease PCT health profiles were released on the South East Public Health Observatory (SEPHO) website on 14th March including Wiltshire's profile.

Local Tobacco Control Profiles were developed by the London Health Observatory (LHO) on behalf of the Public Health Observatories in England.  These profiles provide a snapshot of the extent of tobacco use, tobacco related harm, and measures being taken to reduce this harm at a local level.  They have been designed to help local government and health services to assess the effect of tobacco use on their local populations.  They will inform commissioning and planning decisions to tackle tobacco use and improve the health of local communities.

Wiltshire profile is available below.  There is also an accompanying explanatory leaflet about the profiles.

The 2011 update to the Local Alcohol Profiles for England has been released by the North West Public Health Observatory (NWPHO) today. The profiles contain 25 alcohol-related indicators for every Local Authority and 22 for every Primary Care Trust in England. As well as local area data on alcohol-related hospital admissions and alcohol-related crime, the 2011 profiles include new experimental data on levels of abstainers in each Local Authority and the proportion of drinkers who drink at lower, increasing and higher health risk levels.

The profile for NHS Wiltshire is available to download below.

To view other profiles, visit the Local Alcohol Profiles website.

The NWPHO media release is available from the South West Public Health Observatory website. 

There is strong evidence that the needs of blind and partially sighted people and the eye health of local populations must be planned for the future. This document pulls together key information, statistics and research to support Wiltshire Council, Public Health and Commissioners when planning current and future services.

The document has been produced by RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People), Wiltshire Blind Association, and Action for Blind people, on behalf of WVSAG (Wiltshire Vision Strategy Action Group) a working group made up of blind and partially sighted people and professionals from social care, health and from the third sector.
