Locally produced updated profiles for each electoral ward and each of the three Area Committee Areas are due to be added to this JSNA website in the next few weeks and will be published on Ward and Area Committee Area Profiles.

The following new topic pages have been added to Hull’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment in the last year:

• Infectious Diseases under Health Factors under Adults
• Liver Disease under Health Factors under Adults
• Musculoskeletal Disorders under Health Factors under Adults
• Sensory Impairment under Vulnerable Groups

A number of specific diseases and medical conditions are measured within the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) within primary care. As part of the General Medical Services contract implemented in 2004, QOF was set out as a means for general practices to measure achievement against a set of clinical and other indicators that reflected the quality of care provided to their patients. A national system was established to support the calculation of GP practice payments according to the achievements against QOF.

There are a number of indicators around establishing a register of patients with specific conditions, and these indicators can be used to provide an estimate of the prevalence of the recorded levels of diagnosed disease.

The latest information for the 2023/24 financial year has been published. Further information can be found within a Local Analysis of the Quality and Outcomes Framework Data which is available under Tools and Resources.

The diagnosed prevalence (and any statistically significant association between the prevalence and average age of patients or average deprivation score of patients) is given within the relevant disease and medical condition under Health Factors within Adults or in the case of learning disabilities and mental ill health under Vulnerable Groups.

The Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ North East and Yorkshire Local Knowledge and Information team have produced a Picture of Health intelligence pack which summaries the health and wellbeing of residents of Hull. This has been added to our Key Facts summary under Home.

There is currently a problem with the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ Fingertips tool.

We used this extensively on our JSNA website, and this has impacted on the information displayed on our JSNA.

Unfortunately, we have no control over this but they anticipate having this fixed as soon as possible.

The fieldwork for Children and Young People Health and Wellbeing Survey was completed between March and May 2024. Initial data cleaning, checking and analysis was completed over summer and early autumn. The findings from the survey were disseminated at various meetings between November 2024 and May 2025.

The main findings are presented within Local Surveys Involving Young People under Tools and Resources under Surveys Conducted in Hull in the form of two presentations (a ‘main’ presentation and a summary presentation). A copy of the questionnaire is also available.

Information has also been added to other sections of our JSNA particularly within Health Factors and Lifestyle Factors under Children and Young People.

As at July 2025, the majority of the information has been added to our JSNA.
