This statistical report provides a summary of routinely-reported substance misuse related evidence currently available in Wales. Evidence is drawn from a number of data sources including information from the Patient Episode Database Wales (PEDW), the Harm Reduction Database (HRD) Wales, Office for National Statistics (ONS) information, Education, and Home Office data. The report presents population based data relating to self-report use and objective measures including hospital admissions in order to provide an overview of the context and extent of health harms and risk behaviour related to drug and alcohol use in Wales. It then focuses on specific age groups: children and young people (aged 0-24 years), working aged adults (aged 25-49 years) and older people (aged 50 years and above) and, where data is available, provide geographic profile by health board and local authority. The report is aimed both at those responsible for providing and planning health and related services that prevent and/or address the harms associated with drug and alcohol misuse in Wales and the wider UK, as well as those with a broader interest in substance misuse, wider social determinants and implications.

Using the most recent data available, this report provides a comprehensive account of poverty based on the Social Metrics Commission’s measurement framework. It provides a detailed overview of the extent and nature of poverty in the UK today and original analysis that shows how this has changed since the first year where the data for the Commission’s measurement framework is available (2000/01). It also includes detailed factsheets which presents the findings on poverty by age, age group, gender and disability status of individuals. Based on the Commission's approach to measuring poverty, the report shows that there are 14.3 million people in poverty in the UK. This includes 8.3 million working age adults; 4.6 million children; and 1.3 million pension-age adults. Compared to previous reports, it finds that overall rates of poverty have changed relatively little since the millennium, although there have been changes in rates of poverty among different groups. It reports that of those in poverty, just under half (49 per cent) have also been in poverty for at least two of the previous three years; and nearly half (48 per cent) of people in poverty live in a family where someone is disabled.

This report provides an overview of housing provision in relation to health and wellbeing within local areas in England. It is designed to supplement the LGA’s ‘Health and wellbeing in England: a focus on housing’ report that explores housing and health in local authority, by providing an overview of the population and factors affecting housing conditions, and potentially health and wellbeing, at ward level. To focus on areas of most concern, charts have been limited to show 50 wards, highlighting those with the most challenging circumstances, relative to other wards in the area, at the top of the chart. The maps show the distribution of various metrics at ward level. For each area, the report covers: living arrangements, population characteristics, health and wellbeing of the general population, and health and wellbeing among older people and children.

This is the 9th in a series of annual reports aiming to provide an independent assessment of progress in eliminating poverty and reducing social exclusion. It covers issues from work and education to health and housing. The analysis is built around a set of 50 indicators organised into 6 chapters. Four of the chapters are focused on particular age groups, namely children, young adults aged under 25, adults aged 25 to retirement, and adults above retirement. In addition, there is a chapter looking at low income and one looking at community issues. Among the findings are that half of all children still in poverty are living in families doing paid work. It concludes that unless the scale of in-work poverty can be reduced, future substantial reductions in child poverty are very unlikely. The big fall in poverty among pensioners has been a major success of the anti-poverty strategy. By contrast, the failure to reduce poverty among working-age adults has been a major weakness. Progress in the numbers reaching ‘headline’ standards at age 11 and 16 has been made but this diverts attention from the quarter of 19-year-olds who fail to reach a minimum educational standard.
