Health Needs Assessment for Children and Young People Across the North of England Cancer Network
The North of England Cancer Network (NECN) has made much progress in implementing the NICE guidance on Children and Young People Improving Outcomes, August 2005. This health needs assessment was developed in order to inform the children’s cancer commissioning strategy, ensure that the development of services for children and young people continues to be evidence based and to be incorporated into joint strategic needs assessments across NECN.

The Social Care Needs of Short-Sentence Prisoners

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in the North East of England
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is linked to smoking, occupational dust and pollution, and is particularly prevalent in the North East of England. This paper reviews prevalence estimates and highlights the fact that over 32,000 people in the North East are living with undiagnosed COPD. COPD costs the NHS an estimated £491million every year and this paper highlights emergency admission rates for COPD. Mortality rates from COPD in the North East are higher than in England (accounting for 6% of all deaths), and the inequality gap appears to be increasing.

Premature mortality from smoking in the North East of England
Smoking kills over 1,700 people every year in the North East before they reach the age of 70, accounting for 29% of premature deaths in the region compared with 26% of all premature deaths in England. Premature mortality from smoking in the North East is higher for men than for women and the highest rates are seen in Middlesbrough and Newcastle. The majority of these smoking-attributable deaths are from cancer, although smoking also accounts for 82% of the premature deaths from COPD and 32% of the premature deaths from cerebrovascular diseases.

Health Needs Assessment for Long Term Neurological Conditions in North East England
A health needs assessment (HNA) for Long Term Neurological Conditions (LTNC) has been carried out by the North East Public Health Observatory (NEPHO) on behalf of the Regional Neuroscience Commissioning Network. The HNA has been developed in parallel with the North East Strategic Commissioning Plan for Neurosciences. The key policy document underpinning this HNA is the National Service Framework (NSF) for Long-term Conditions.
