The London Health Observatory and SHA- Public Health Performance indicatorsLast Updated: Tuesday, 15 September 2009
The London Health Observatory and SHA compile quarterly reports for all London PCTs to assess their performance against the Government’s 2005-08 Health of the Population targets. The report presents indicators in relation to three different sets of targets. These are the public health aspects of the Selbie Six targets, the Local Area Agreement targets and indicators relating to Health of the Population targets. This report contains a full list of the targets with a traffic lighting system to show whether or not Brent is achieving the targets set. The report shows Brents position up to the end of quarter 3 2006/07. Of the 37 targets reported against Brent is green on 19 targets (51%) amber on 5 targets (14%) and red on 13 targets (35%). The status of smoking in pregnancy, recording of smoking in pregnancy, cancer mortality and teenage conceptions has improved from the previous report. Five of the 13 indicators where Brent scored red reflect the recording and data collection systems in place to monitor new targets. These include obesity, recording of obesity, recording of smoking status, smoking during pregnancy and recording of this, and recording of breastfeeding. Significant improvements have been made in a number of these areas. The percentage of mothers whose breastfeeding was unknown for instance has reduced from 11.7% to 2%. Five of the red LAA indicators relate to childhood immunisations. Data quality is also a factor here and a project is underway to cease the duplication of data recording between PCT community services and General Practice which will result in improved data. Of the remainder of the red targets smoking cessation is close to the target and the number of quitters in quarter 4 is generally greater than other quarters so performance is likely to improve by the end of the year Commentary on the remaining red indicators is provided within the report.
