Cancer screening coverage: cervical cancer (aged 25 to 49 years old) - WMCA

The proportion of women in the resident population eligible for cervical screening aged 25 to 49 years at end of period reported who were screened adequately within the previous 3.5 years. ## Rationale Cervical screening supports detection of cell abnormalities that may become cancer and is estimated to save 4,500 lives in England each year. Inclusion of this indicator provides an opportunity to incentivise screening promotion and other local initiatives to increase coverage of cervical cancer screening. Improvements in coverage would mean more cervical cancer is prevented or detected at earlier, more treatable stages. ## Definition of numerator Tested women (numerator) is the number of eligible women with a technically adequate screen within the previous 3.5 years. ## Definition of denominator Eligible women (denominator) is the number of women aged 25 to 49 years resident in the area (determined by postcode of residence) who are eligible for cervical screening at a given point in time, excluding those without a cervix. ## Caveats Data for ICBs are estimated from local authority data. In most cases ICBs are coterminous with local authorities, so the ICB figures are precise. In cases where local authorities cross ICB boundaries, the local authority data are proportionally split between ICBs, based on population located in each ICB. The affected ICBs are: * Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire; * Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes; * Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West; * Cambridgeshire and Peterborough; * Frimley; * Hampshire and Isle of Wight; * Hertfordshire and West Essex; * Humber and North Yorkshire; * Lancashire and South Cumbria; * Norfolk and Waveney; * North East and North Cumbria; * Suffolk and North East Essex; * Surrey Heartlands; * Sussex; * West Yorkshire. Please be aware that the April 2019 to March 2020, April 2020 to March 2021 and April 2021 to March 2022 data covers the time period affected by the COVID19 pandemic and therefore data for this period should be interpreted with caution. This indicator gives screening coverage by local authority of residence. This is not the same as the indicator based on population registered with primary care organisations which include patients wherever they live. This is likely to result in different England totals depending on selected (registered or resident) population footprint. The indicator excludes women outside the target age range for the screening programme who may self refer for screening.
Number of doctor/GP locations per 1,000 population - WMCA MSOA (2021)

This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file. The file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of doctor/GP practices located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. These services involve doctors working in premises, or a room, designated for medical consultation or minor medical treatments. Often the doctor will complete medical consultations, including physical examination and simple physiological measurement (such as blood pressure tests). They will discuss diagnosis and treatment options and may prescribe medicines for the person to take at home. They may also undertake minor invasive investigations or procedures, such as conscious endoscopy, in a treatment room designed for this purpose. There may be other healthcare professionals, for example practice nurses, supporting the work of the doctor. Examples of services that fit under this category: * Independent doctors consulting rooms * NHS GP practices * Slimming clinics * Early medical abortion clinics * Travel vaccination services * Polyclinics Data is extracted once a quarter and provides a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes, a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 4th of each month and shows MSOAs (Middle Layer Super Output Areas) at the 2021 Census Geography.
Number of dental practices per 1,000 population - WMCA MSOA (2021)

This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file. The file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of dental practices located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. These services involve registered dentists and dental care professionals usually working in premises designed for consultation and treatment, but they can also be provided in a person's place of residence. Consultations and examinations will involve discussion of the treatment options with the patient and may include dental radiography. Treatment is usually provided in a dedicated room and, in consultation with the patient, may be under local anaesthetic, or use a laser. Medicines may be prescribed as part of the treatment. Examples of services that fit under this category: * Primary care dental services (dentists on the high street, NHS funded, private or both) * Dental out-of-hours services Data is extracted once a quarter and provides a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes, a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.

Percentage within a 15-minute walk of their nearest rail station - WMCA MSOA (2021)

This is the percentage of people living less than a 15-minute walk of their nearest rail station. Travel time to Rail Stations analysis was performed in collaboration with the Ordnance Survey (OS). Distance and travel time analysis requires identification of origins and destinations, and a routable network from origin to destination. Destinations: Data are from the National Public Transport Access Nodes (NaPTAN) dataset, cross-validated against the Office for Rail and Road mainline stations. Only nodes with a status of active are included. The RLY and MET NaPTAN stop types are used for the geographical distribution of stations. Some stations within the NaPTAN dataset have been excluded from this analysis. For example, stations on heritage lines that have a seasonal service and stations having a parliamentary service. A walking speed of 4.8 kilometres per hour has been used. For routing analysis, a buffer from a destination is created using the OS Multi-modal Routable Network (MRN). This indicates which 100m grid squares lie within a one hour’s walk. The network generated by MRN is then used to calculate the travel time between each 100m grid and destination. If a grid square is within a catchment of multiple destinations, the shortest time is chosen. Population estimates are calculated using Output Area (OA) population data. By aggregating distances and travel times for entire OAs, the estimates aren't exact proportions of the larger area's population. This approach might result in identical proportions across different time bands and variables because the same OAs are included or excluded.

Percentage within a 15-minute walk of their nearest library - WMCA MSOA (2021)

This is the percentage of people living less than a 15-minute walk of their nearest library. Travel time to libraries analysis was performed in collaboration with the Ordnance Survey (OS). Distance and travel time analysis requires identification of origins and destinations, and a routable network from origin to destination. Destinations: Data about libraries are from the Sites Dataset, within the Land Use theme of the OS NGD API Features database. This has been supplemented using data from: * Arts Council for England Basic Dataset for Libraries * CILIP Cymru Wales Public Libraries by Operator Dataset This analysis excludes prison, archive, and mobile libraries, as well as static libraries with less than 2 opening hours per week from the Arts Council for England dataset. The analysis contains the locations of static public libraries, accurate to May of the year of publication. A walking speed of 4.8 kilometres per hour has been used. For routing analysis, a buffer from a destination is created using the OS Multi-modal Routable Network (MRN). This indicates which 100m grid squares lie within a one hour’s walk.

Number of nursing homes per 1,000 population - WMCA MSOA (2021)

This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file. The file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of nursing homes located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. A care home is a place where personal care and accommodation are provided together. People may live in the service for short or long periods. For many people, it is their sole place of residence and so it becomes their home, although they do not legally own or rent it. Both the care that people receive and the premises are regulated. In addition, qualified nursing care is provided to ensure that the full needs of the person using the service are met. Examples of services that fit under this category: * Nursing home * Convalescent home with nursing * Respite care with nursing * Mental health crisis house with nursing Data is extracted once a quarter and provides a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes, a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.

Percentage households in fuel poverty - WMCA MSOA (2021)

This shows fuel poor households as a proportion of all households in the geographical area (modelled) using the Low Income Low Energy Efficiency (LILEE) measure. Since 2021 (2019 data) the LILEE indicator considers a household to be fuel poor if: * it is living in a property with an energy efficiency rating of band D, E, F or G as determined by the most up-to-date Fuel Poverty Energy Efficiency Rating (FPEER) methodology * its disposable income (income after housing costs (AHC) and energy needs) would be below the poverty line. The Government is interested in the amount of energy people need to consume to have a warm, well-lit home, with hot water for everyday use, and the running of appliances. Therefore, fuel poverty is measured based on required energy bills rather than actual spending. This ensures that those households who have low energy bills simply because they actively limit their use of energy at home, Fuel poverty statistics are based on data from the English Housing Survey (EHS). Estimates of fuel poverty at the regional level are taken from the main fuel poverty statistics. Estimates at the sub-regional level should only be used to look at general trends and identify areas of particularly high or low fuel poverty. They should not be used to identify trends over time.

Percentage Universal Credit claimants in employment - WMCA Wards (2025)

Proportion of people claiming Universal Credit who are in employment. This is based on the count of the number of people on Universal Credit on the second Thursday of each month (completed the Universal Credit claim process and accepted their Claimant Commitment) and have not had a closure of their claim recorded for this spell. A closure of their claim would be recorded either at the request of the individual or if their entitlement to Universal Credit ends, for example, if they no longer satisfy the financial conditions to receive Universal Credit as they have capital over the threshold. To allow sufficient time for earnings information to be gathered on all claimants, figures for the latest month in the series will not be available until the next release. Figures provided for starts show the Jobcentre Plus office recorded at the start of the claim, whereas the figures for the number of people on Universal Credit are representative of the current Jobcentre Plus office that the claimant is attending. It is possible for people to have started on Universal Credit in one office and have moved to another office during their claim, and for this reason, the number of people on Universal Credit can be higher than the starts figure for any particular office, however it is more noticeable when numbers are low. You may be eligible to get Universal Credit if you’re on a low income or out of work, 18 or over (there are some exceptions if you’re 16 to 17), you’re under State Pension age (or your partner is), you and your partner have £16,000 or less in savings between you, and you live in the UK. Universal Credit has replaced Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) for most people. It is still possible to claim JSA if you are 18 or over and under State Pension age. As long as you are actively looking for a full-time job and are out of work, or are working less than 16 hours a week. These standalone JSA claims are separately reported. Statistical disclosure control has been applied with Stat-Xplore, which guards against the identification of an individual claimant.
