It is a major opportunity for advocacy on behalf of the population and, as such, can be used to help talk to the community
and support fellow professionals, providing added value over and above intelligence and information routinely available such
as that contained within health profiles or the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA).
It is intended to inform local strategies, policy and practice across a range of organisations and interests and to highlight
opportunities to improve the health and wellbeing of people in Leicestershire. The annual report is an important vehicle by
which Directors of Public Health can identify key issues, flag up problems, report progress and thereby serve their local
populations. It is also a key resource to inform stakeholders of priorities and recommend actions to improve and protect the
health of the communities they serve.
Within this report, data is presented on the changing population of Leicestershire, the prevalence of individual and
multiple conditions in the population and data on excess winter deaths and place of death. The content should be used by
commissioners and providers of services to respond to changes in the health of Leicestershire residents.
