Dunoon update Data gathering on inequalities in Dunoon This data is used to help inform decision-making by taking account of the key inequalities and people most impacted by them. Quantitative Data Using the data gathered by the Public Health Scotland’s Local Intelligence Support Team (LIST) the suggested priority areas to be considered within this Place and Wellbeing Assessment are: • People living in areas of deprivation • Individuals aged 15-44 in with diseases that limit life expectancy • People with addiction issues • People experiencing income and employment deprivation Reflections on our journey collecting the qualitative data so far are on our blog Qualitative data Feedback from interviews with key local stakeholders and from additional reports and surveys indicated the following key themes in terms of inequalities: • Mental health • Lack of affordable, flexible childcare • Cost of living (fuel poverty/ new demographics) • "Connectivity" • Reliance on third sector delivery of key public services Gaps in data / learning from data collection • Issues are cross-cutting – no discrete demographics identifiable • Lack of recent comprehensive community engagement • No specific projects for high SIMD areas to learn from • Lack of qualitative data about early death rates. GP data and insight could be key part of the picture. • Lack of mechanisms for sharing data across organisations
