North East Public Health Observatory

Community Mental Health Profiles for every local authority in England were launched by NEPHO on the 1st of March. They give an overview of mental health risks, prevalence and services at a local, regional and national level, and can be viewed as an interactive tool or a downloadable PDF.

The European Health Profile tool presents health data from the I2SARE project through interactive maps and charts, enabling the comparison of health and socio-economic indicators, health care systems and health care financing of the countries included in the tool.

The network of Public Health Observatories in England launched two products on 7 Dec 2011: the revised National General Practice Profiles tool, and updated Disease Prevalence Estimates. The prevalence estimates are included for the first time as indicators within the profiles tool, and are also provided as a standalone product for further uses.

The Office for National Statistics produced updated life expectancy figures on 19th October 2011. NEPHO have produced a brief summary of the results for the North East.
