This report aims to systematically and comprehensively assess the Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) needs of the population of Oxfordshire, to identify where these are not being met by current services and to identify possible solutions to better satisfy unmet need. Objectives are:

• To combine epidemiological and corporate approaches to a sexual health needs assessment to characterise population needs and current service provision and to identify areas where these do not meet (gap analysis)
• To incorporate a wide range of data sources, both qualitative and quantitative, existing and new data
• To make use of a wide range of SRH indicators for Oxfordshire, and make appropriate comparisons with the performance of similar counties, the South East region and England
• To gain the views of SRH service providers and other key stakeholders
• To work closely with the OCC Engagement Team to ensure that a wide range of service user and potential service user views are accurately captured
• To make recommendations from findings with regard to future service provision and distribution of resources, both spatially and across different population groups, according to level of need.

This is the Executive Summary of the full report.

This Needs Analysis focuses on the older population of Oxfordshire, and the factors affecting older people’s health, wellbeing, and social care needs. The report is organised under the following broad theme headings:

• Population and population groups (chapters 2 and 3)

The number of older people living in Oxfordshire and how this is expected to change.

• Wider determinants of health (chapter 4)

Factors with known links with health and wellbeing of older people, such as income, deprivation and the physical and social environment.

• Health conditions and causes of death (chapter 5)

The number of older people with diseases and long-term conditions, and the main causes of death.

• Lifestyles (chapter 6)

Lifestyle behaviours and characteristics, such as smoking, drinking, drug use, and obesity.

• Service use (chapter 7)

The number of older people receiving health, social care and other services.  Older people in contact with community safety services (police, fire, trading standards). This report draws on evidence presented in the main Joint Strategic Needs Assessment, last updated April 2018, and has been made possible through invaluable contributions, advice and guidance of the JSNA Steering Group and the many experts and data analysts in Oxfordshire’s local authorities, health services, police and voluntary organisations.

This is the first in a new series of Oxfordshire JSNA "Bitesize" publications and has been created by the Public Health team at Oxfordshire County Council.

It covers the topic of Sexual Health and shows data for Oxfordshire and districts for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).

Executive summary of the main 2018 Oxfordshire Strategic Intelligence Assessment report.

The Strategic Intelligence Assessment (SIA) provides information about crime and community safety in Oxfordshire. It shows emerging trends and patterns in crime and disorder and future threats and opportunities.

The SIA is part of the evidence base which supports community safety partners to plan and target their work.  This 2018 SIA updates the versions produced each year since 2014.

The following sources of data have been used:

• Crime data published by the Office for National Statistics in January 2018 (data running to September 2017) which allows for comparisons with national averages and similar areas
• Locally sourced data from Thames Valley Police, running to December 2017
• Other local and national datasets, as referenced throughout the report

New datasets added since the last version include:

• ONS experimental statistics on trends in crime severity
• Additional data on alcohol consumption
• Recent estimates of opiate and/or crack use
