The Well-being Challenge
Health Deprivation
Another specific domain in the English Indices of Deprivation
data is health deprivation. This domain is based on indicators
of physical and mental health and illness, as well as life
expectancy.
Virtually all of Barrow-in-Furness is in the top half of all areas
nationally for health deprivation, with a significant proportion
of the town in the most 10% deprived – including almost all
of the town centre, the industrial fringes to the north and
east, and parts of Walney Island. Suburban areas to the
north east and east are the least deprived within the town,
but are still deprived in terms of health relative to most other
parts of England.
With no parts of the Barrow Town Deal Area scoring
positively in the health domain the large scale of the health
and well-being challenge is made clear.
