Air Quality

How we interact with our environment plays a key role for the population today and future generations. Protecting our natural habitats, ensuring our activities are sustainable, energy production and air quality are important considerations.

Census 2011

The Census happens every ten years and is a survey of the whole population. The last Census of England and Wales was held on 27th March 2011. It captures a breadth of information which can be used to help target resources more efficiently and inform policy-making.

Deprivation and poverty

Deprivation to many means poverty. Poverty impacts on the whole of society and creates problems of social isolation. This section includes links to the indices of deprivation and deprivation documents.

Best Start in Speech, Language and Communication

There is increasing concern about the numbers of children starting school with poor speech, language and communication skills, with unacceptable differences in outcomes in different areas of the country.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels become too high, having negative impacts on health. It consists of two main types, type 1 and type 2. There are a range of risk factors and a healthy lifestyle is important in minimising the risk of developing diabetes.

Disability and sensory impairment

The term ‘Physical Impairment’ refers to people who have one or more physical impairments. These impairments may be congenital or acquired at any age, be temporary, long-term, or fluctuating. People with physical impairments may often have unique & multi-dimensional requirements.

Economy

Strong economic foundations are critical to the future success of an area, creating quality employment opportunities for local people. A dynamic local enterprise culture is vital for the long-term competitiveness and overall success of any local economy, and an appropriately skilled workforce is required to make the most of opportunities as and when they arise.

Liver Disease

Deaths from liver disease are increasing in England. This is in contrast to most EU countries where liver disease deaths are falling. In 2014 the number of people who died with an underlying cause of liver disease in England rose to 11,597. This rise is in contrast to other major causes of disease which have been declining. Liver disease is largely preventable.

Housing

Affordable and suitable, warm, safe and secure homes are essential to a good quality of life yet many homes in Nottinghamshire do not meet these criteria.

Physical Activity

Regular physically activity has significant health and wellbeing benefits and the evidence to support these benefits for all ages and groups has become more compelling in recent years.

Mental health

One in four adults nationally will experience mental health problems. Mental health and physical health are interlinked, with people with mental illness experiencing higher rates of morbidity and a lower life expectancy, and people with chronic physical health problems more likely to experience mental health problems.

Tobacco

Smoking causes more deaths each year than any other preventable cause. The main causes of death are cardiovascular disease, cancers and respiratory disease.

Sexual health

Good sexual health is an important aspect of health and wellbeing, and it is vital that people have the information, the confidence and the means to make choices that are right for them, regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or belief or disability.
