Notes for this profile: 
• The island of Colonsay is located in the HSCP locality of ‘Oban, Lorn and the Isles’ (OLI)
and within the local area of ‘Mull, Iona, Coll, Tiree and Colonsay’. This reflects the
organisation and delivery of HSCP services to Colonsay from OLI. However, to compile
these profiles, data are aggregated from small geographical areas called datazones, for
which different data are made available across Scotland. Colonsay is included within a
datazone with Jura. This reflects the political multi-councillor ward in which Colonsay is
placed with Islay, Jura and Kintyre (and falls within the Argyll and Bute Council
Administrative Area of ‘Mid-Argyll, Kintyre and Islay’). Colonsay is therefore included with
Islay and Jura in the profile area of ‘Islay, Jura and Colonsay’.
• All years shown are calendar years unless otherwise specified.
• Data sources are provided in the notes and the full profiles. 
• Definitions for the indicators shown are available within the Appendices.
• The data here is a snapshot at one point in time. Data should be interpreted with caution,
particularly for areas with relatively small population sizes where indicator data is
expected, by chance alone, to have higher variation than in areas of larger population
size. Please see full profiles for trends and confidence data. Note that differences
between areas can relate to multiple factors including, for example, underlying rates of
illness, rates of diagnosis and local differences in practice e.g. in data recording.

Footnotes
1. Care Home Data included in the Services Map and Table was sourced from the Care
Inspectorate. GP Practice data from October 2021, and Hospital and A&E data was sourced
from Public Health Scotland Open Data. Only services that are within the physical boundary
of the HSCP or Locality are included in the map and table, so there may be services outside
Argyll and Bute which people may use but are not shown.
2. The data used in Demographics and Housing sections (except SIMD) are taken from National
Records of Scotland (NRS). SIMD data from PHS incorporates SIMD information from
Scottish Government and population data from NRS. 
3. The data used in General Health and Behavioural Factors sections (except for long-term
conditions) of this locality profile are taken from ScotPHO. There may be more recent data
available for the indicators elsewhere.
4. Data taken from ScotPHO is often reported using the European Age-Sex Standardised Rate
per 100,000. This allows for comparisons across different areas to be made. For more
information on how these rates are calculated, please refer to www.isdscotland.org/Products-
and-Services/GPD-Support/Population/Standard-Populations/
5. Physical long-term conditions (LTC) data comes from the Source Linkage Files, and the
conditions are identified using ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes in the diagnosis fields. Please note
that the Source Linkage Files data only contains information on people who have had contact
with the NHS through either inpatient admissions, outpatient attendances, daycase
attendances, A&E attendances or through prescribed items, the data does not show all
service users in Scotland who have been diagnosed with an LTC as not all of these
individuals will have used these services. Also note that LTC rates are based on an adjusted
population indicator in the Source Linkage Files so that population sizes are closer to the
official estimates.
6. Hospital and Community care data are sourced from PHS data sources and NRS death
records.

Appendices
Appendix 1: Indicator Definitions 
Indicator Definition
% last 6 months of Life
Spent in a Community
Setting 
The percentage of time spent by people in their last 6 months of life
in the community. Community includes care home residents as well
as those living in their own home. Considers all hospital activity (e.g.
geriatric long stay (GLS), mental health, acute). Inpatient activity with
a care home location code recorded in SMR is included within the
Community percentage for all years presented. This activity
represents beds funded by the NHS which are located within a care
home.
A&E Attendances Attendance rates to A&E departments for patients by residence per
100,000 population. Includes all ages. 
Alcohol-related
hospital admissions
General acute inpatient and day case stays with diagnosis of alcohol
misuse in any diagnostic position (ICD-10 code: E24.4, E51.2, F10,
G31.2, G62.1, G72.1, I42.6, K29.2, K70, K85.2, K86.0, O35.4, P04.3,
Q86.0, R78.0, T51.0, T51.1, T51.9, X45, X65, Y15, Y57.3, Y90, Y91,
Z50.2, Z71.4, Z72.1). All rates have been standardised against the
European standard population (ESP2013) and 2011-
based population estimates.
Alcohol-specific
deaths
Alcohol related deaths (based on new National Statistics definition):
5-year rolling average number and directly age-sex standardised rate
per 100,000 population. (ICD-10 codes from the primary cause of
death:
E24.4,F10,G31.2,G62.1,G72.1,I42.6,K29.2,K70,K85.2,K86.0,Q86.0,
R78.0,X45,X65,Y15).
Bowel Screening
Uptake
Bowel screening uptake for all eligible men and women invited (aged
50-74): 3-year rolling average number percentage. Eligible men and
women are posted a guaiac-based faecal occult blood test kit (FOBT)
which should be completed at home. This involves collecting 2
samples from each of 3 separate bowel movements. The kit is
returned in a pre-paid envelope to the central screening centre in
Dundee and tested for hidden traces of blood in the stool. Individuals
who have a positive FOBT result are referred to their local hospital
for assessment and, where appropriate, offered a colonoscopy as the
first line of investigation.
Cancer Registrations
New cancer registrations: 3 year rolling average number and directly
age-sex standardised rate per 100,000 population. All rates have
been standardised against the European standard population
(ESP2013) and 2011-base population estimates. ICD10: C00-C96
excluding C44 (principal diagnosis only).
Death, aged 15-44
Deaths from all causes (ages 15-44 years), 3 year rolling average
number and directly age sex standardised rate per 100,000
population. All rates have been standardised against the European

Page 10

PHS LIST HSCP and Locality Profiles 
10 
standard population (ESP2013). Deaths assigned to year based on
death registration date.
Delayed Discharge
Bed days
Number of days people aged over 18 spend in hospital when they
are ready to be discharged per 100,000 population. Note that this
may not always reflect the council area responsible for the person's
post hospital discharge planning. The HSCP total is based on the
area responsible for the person's post hospital discharge planning,
which reflects what is published nationally.
Drug-related hospital
admissions
General acute inpatient and day case stays with diagnosis of drug
misuse in any diagnostic position (ICD10: F11-F16, F18, F19, T40.0-
T40.9), 3-year rolling average number and directly age-sex
standardised rate per 100,000 population. All rates have been
standardised against the European standard population (ESP2013)
and 2011-based population estimates.
Emergency
Admissions
Rate of emergency (non-elective) admissions of patients of all
ages per 100,000 population. This has been separated into two
indicators – one for acute specialty and one for mental health
specialty stays. An emergency admission is defined as being a new
continuous spell of care in hospital where the patient was admitted
as an emergency. The total number of emergency admissions is then
calculated by counting the number of continuous spells in hospital
within a financial year. (See also the "Hospital Care in Mental Health
Specialities" definition).
Emergency
Admissions from a Fall
Rate of acute emergency admissions (non-elective) of patients of all
ages where a fall was logged as an ICD-10 code. ICD-10 codes
W00-W19 were searched for in all diagnostic positions, in
conjunction with the admission type codes 33 (Patient injury, home
accident), 34 (Patient injury, incident at work) and 35 (Patient injury,
other).
Emergency
Readmissions (28 day)
The rate of readmissions of all adults (18+) within 28 days of an
admission per 1,000 discharges. An emergency readmission is
where the subsequent admission is an emergency and occurs up to
and including 28 days from the initial admission. The initial admission
can be of any type but must end within the time period of interest
Hospital Care in
Mental Health
Specialties
Mental health admission data is taken from SMR04, which holds
records on patients receiving inpatient care in mental health
(psychiatric) facilities. Episodes beginning with a transfer have also
been included in these figures, as well as emergency admissions as
many of these episodes will have started as unplanned acute
admission. Therefore the initial unscheduled admission need not
have been to a mental health long stay speciality.
Life expectancy,
females
Estimated female life expectancy at birth in years, multi-year average
(over 3 years for NHS Boards and Local Authorities, 5 years for
Intermediate zones). Mortality data are based on year of registration.
They also include non-Scottish residence so the number of deaths
match those produced by NRS.

PHS LIST HSCP and Locality Profiles 
11 
Life Expectancy, males
Estimated male life expectancy at birth in years, multi-year average
(over 3 years for NHS Boards and Local Authorities, 5 years for
Intermediate zones) Mortality data are based on year of registration.
They also include non-Scottish residence so the number of deaths
match those produced by NRS.
Physical Long-Term
Conditions
Health conditions that last a year or longer, impact a person's life,
and may require ongoing care and support. The LTCs presented are:
Arthritis, Atrial Fibrillation, Cancer, Coronary Heart Disease, Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Cerebrovascular Disease,
Dementia, Diabetes, Epilepsy, Heart Failure, Liver Failure, Multiple
Sclerosis, Parkinson's, and Renal Failure.
Population prescribed
drugs for
anxiety/depression/ps
ychosis
Estimated number and percentage of population being prescribed
drugs for anxiety, depression or psychosis.
Potentially Preventable
Admissions (PPA)
Emergency admissions (non-elective) of patients of all ages for
conditions based on 19 “ambulatory care sensitive conditions” from
“The health of the people of NEW South Wales - Report of the Chief
Medical Officer". These conditions result from medical problems that
may be avoidable with the application of public health measures
and/or timely and effective treatment usually delivered in the
community by the primary care team. Please see complete list of
ICD-10 codes included in Appendix 3.
Unscheduled Bed days
Rate of unscheduled bed days of patients of all ages per 100,000
population. Takes the bed days spent only within the year of
measurement – stays that overlap financial years will have their
respective days counted either side. This has been separated into
two indicators – one for acute speciality and one for mental health
specialty stays.
