Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment:
Maps of Key Indicators, Swansea LHB
Introduction
The maps presented in this document are intended to support LHBs when
undertaking Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment. Lists of pharmacies and GPs
are correct as of June 2007.
Further information on the data sources and analytical methods used is
available within the series of documents recently produced to assist LHBs with
the 2006 round of health needs assessment, in preparation for their Health,
Social Care and Well-being (HSCWB) Strategies. These are available online.
A glossary of terms used within this document is included in section 9.
1.1
Interpretation of thematic maps
The information in this document is presented at small area level using Super
Output Areas, a statistical geography recently released by the Office for
National Statistics.
For each indicator, all Super Output Areas in Wales have been split into five
groups, in a way most appropriate to the data. Each group is then assigned a
different shade of green, with darker shades indicating higher numbers. In this
document, the maps are zoomed in on Swansea.
The range of values in which a Super Output Area falls is shown by the legend
accompanying the map:
Range of values
Total Super Output Areas in Wales in this range
As shown above, the number in brackets represents the total number of Super
Output Areas in Wales that fall into the range. This gives additional
information regarding the picture in Wales as a whole. In total, there are 413
Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs) and 1896 Lower Super Output Areas
(LSOAs) in Wales, with 31 and 147 respectively in Swansea. The Health
Information Analysis Team is currently in the process of producing LHBspecific guides to show how MSOAs relate to electoral divisions (or ‘wards’).
It is important when interpreting maps to note that areas which look
geographically larger do not necessarily have a higher population; one of the
advantages of Super Output Areas is that they are much more similar in
population size than electoral divisions. This makes comparison between
areas less prone to misinterpretation.

Limiting long-term illness
Limiting long-term illness (LLTI) is a self-reported measure of long-term
illness, health problems or disability that limits a person’s daily activities or
the work they can do. It should be remembered that these data are based on
self-reported ill-health, rather than officially diagnosed ill-health. The figure
below shows the proportion of persons in households with LLTI at Middle
Super Output Area (MSOA) level.

Access to services
The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2005 contained seven domains, one
of which is access to services.
The map below shows the fifth of Wales (see glossary) into which each Lower
Super Output Area (LSOA) falls, in terms of access to: food-shop; GP surgery;
primary school; secondary school; NHS dentist; post office; public library or
other free internet access point; swimming pool or leisure centre; accident and
emergency hospital.

Glossary of terms
EASR
European age-standardised rate. Enables the
comparison of areas with different age
structures.
Fifth
To show access to services and all-cause
mortality, Wales has been split into five equallynumbered groups of areas. Each area falls into
one of these ‘fifths’.
LSOA
Lower Super Output Area. The smallest of the
Super Output Area geographies, with a total of
1896 in Wales. There are 147 LSOAs in
Swansea.
MSOA
Middle Super Output Area. The medium-sized
Super Output Area geography, with a total of
413 in Wales. There are 31 MSOAs in
Swansea.
MYE
Mid-Year Estimate. This is an estimate of the
population, calculated at the mid-point of each
year by ONS, based on births, deaths and an
estimate of migration since the last Census.
Population MYEs at MSOA level are classed as
experimental statistics by ONS; further
information is available online.
ONS
Office for National Statistics.
Proportion
In this report, ‘proportion’ refers to percentage
of total population.
Super Output Areas
Geographical boundaries released by ONS in
2004 to improve the reporting of small area
statistics. Do not have the problems of variation
in population and changing boundaries to which
electoral divisions (wards) are vulnerable.
Further information on Super Output Areas is
available online.
