Commentary

Health Profiles provide a snapshot overview of health for each local authority in England.  They present a set of important health indicators which show how the area compares to the national and regional average.  

Health Profiles are produced annually by the Public Health Observatories in England working in partnership and are commissioned by the Department of Health. 

The 2011 Health Profile for Basingstoke and Deane can be found at the foot of this page.  It includes "Basingstoke and Deane at a glance" (which is reproduced in the 'Data' section below), together with a health summary for the borough based on 32 indicators, and more detailed information covering health inequalities and deprivation (though it should be noted that the latter is based on the Indices of Deprivation 2007, which have now been superseded by the publication of the Indices of Deprivation 2010).
