CORNWALL DATA

19 May 2015

CLICK FOR LATEST ADDED Unemployment: JSA claimants in Cornwall April 2015. I have updated the data for affordable housing. In this ongoing post I bring together data about Cornwall from various sources so that it is more readily accessible. Much is already posted at scattered places on this blog of course. All the data refers only to Cornwall and its parts (and sometimes includes and sometimes excludes the Isles of Scilly). Sources are given in square brackets; I have also included some website addresses, though these may change, so that you can explore the data for yourself. Explanatory notes with the original data are important for understanding.

ABORTIONS The Department of Health annually publishes abortion statistics for England and Wales. For the area of the Cornwall clinical commissioning group (NHS Kernow) there were 1133 abortions in 2013, a rate of 12.5 per 1000 women resident here aged 15-44: see table 10b published June 2014 here. For England for 2013 the rate was 16.1 per 1000 (Table 10b).

AFFORDABLE HOUSING The figures for 1012/13 are in parentheses. In 2013/14 588 (745) additional affordable dwellings were provided in Cornwall. These were made up of: 12 (159) for social rent, 224 (153) for affordable rent, 32 (21) for intermediate rent, and 319 (421) for affordable purchase in Department for works and pensions table 1011.

ANTIDEPRESSANT PRESCRIBING Number of antidepressant items prescribed per GP practice in Cornwall per 1000 people (third quarter 2012/13: 185-225, that is the third quartile where the first quartile is least prescriptions in England).

There are various ways of measuring average pay, eg mean and median average, male and female and both, fulltime and part time, by place of work and by place of residence, by local authority and by constituency, weekly pay and annual pay. Figures for median average pay tend to be less than for mean average. ASHE Annual survey of hours and earnings here .

DEPRIVATION IN CORNWALL There are several ways of measuring deprivation. The Indices of multiple deprivation (IMD) are a major one. The IMD of 2007 show Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly at 69th out of 142 ‘counties, cities, and London boroughs’ in England, where 1st is the most deprived. The IMD puts the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly primary care trust (CIOS) area at 74th out of 152 trust areas where 1st is the most deprived.The IMD of 2010 show Cornwall unitary authority at 110 out of 326 local authorities (rank of average score). The IMD 2007 give these results for the former districts of Cornwall out of 354 districts in England, the score 1st is the most deprived: Penwith 36th, Kerrier 86th, Restormel 89th, North Cornwall 96th, Carrick 120th, and Caradon 156th. The IMD 2010 do not include the former districts of Cornwall, by then abolished. IMD deprivation varies vastly across Cornwall and the measurements for 32 482 subwards in England which are available show this clearly. See the IMD 2007 here. The IMD 2010 are here [new addresses as the former DCLG ones no longer work] The Health Observatory website here has some deprivation data for Cornwall too. Also look at the data above for free school meals in Cornwall. The estimate of the End Child Poverty campaign for mid-2010 was that 19 percent of children in Cornwall live in poverty, below the England average: read their definition. Data for Cornwall wards is given.

EDUCATION MAINTENANCE ALLOWANCE At August 2011 there were 7647 recipients of the England education education allowance (EMA) in Cornwall.

Cornwall LA number on the data sheet is 908.

FUEL POVERTY The Department of energy and climate change (DECC) publishes data for households in fuel poverty. There are statistics for the numbers of households in fuel poverty for the six constituencies and 327 subwards in Cornwall in 2010. Fuel poverty is defined as having to spend more than ten percent of income on a satisfactory heating regime: more details on the DECC website. In Cornwall as whole in 2009 around 60 000 households were classed as in fuel poverty, about 26 percent of all households; in 2010 the figures were 44 706 and 19.1 percent.

POPULATION OF CORNWALL INCLUDING ELECTORS The estimated population of Cornwall, excluding the Isles of Scilly, at the 2011 census (27 March 2011) was 532 273. There are various counts of people in Cornwall. Census and mid-year estimates 2011 census: 532 273 (Table PO7) About 430 000 (81 percent) were aged eighteen or over but see Electoral register. Mid-year estimate 2012: 537 914 Electoral register The Office for national statistics (ONS) has published electoral register statistics. They are up to date up to February 2014 and include attainers. Cornwall local government electors: 409 639 Cornwall parliamentary electors: 406 887. For the May 2015 general election there were 420 985 electors registered to vote. (Parliamentary electors for May 2015 general election: Camborne and Redruth 66 94, North Cornwall 67 192, South East Cornwall 71 601, St Austell and Newquay 76 607, St Ives 65 570, Truro and Falmouth 73 601. There are 64 016 with postal votes, 15.2 percent of the electorate.) Patients registered with GPs in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly(Kernow Clinical Commissioning Group) Clinical commissioning group population 2012: 555 917 Notes All the electoral register figures include attainers, that is electors who attain the age of eighteen in the months after the compilation of the register. The mid-year resident population aged 18 and over includes everyone whereas the electoral register includes only those eligible to vote and thus excludes some foreign citizens for example; people who move away are removed from the register but this may not be instantaneous. The number of GP patients in England has regularly exceeded the population every year since 1961. Reasons for excess population on GP lists are given here: some patients are registered with more than one practice, some have more than one NHS number, some patients remain on the list after they have died or moved abroad, and the effectiveness of the removal of ex-patients varies.

PUPIL FUNDING The per-pupil dedicated schools grant (DSG) for 2011-12 includes various other grants and is now known as GUFS, guaranteed units of funding. For 2011-12 GUFS include the 2010-11 DSG at the same cash level plus the other grants. For 2011-12 Cornwall per pupil GUF is £4663.54, made up of £4042.72 DSG 2010-11 and £620.82 other relevant 2010-11 grants. Details are here at the excel file GUFS 2011-12. In terms of per pupil funding for 2011-12 Cornwall is 134th out of 151 authorities (that is at the 12th percentile); seventeen authorities have lower GUF funding than Cornwall. The average England per pupil GUF 2011-12 is £5082.53. Any pupil premium for individual pupils and students is additional to GUF. The dedicated schools grant (DSG) began in 2006/07 and earlier per pupil allocations are not directly comparable. Before 2006/07 schools were funded largely through the formula grant which, apart from the DSG, is the main grant from central government to local authorities.

WORK CAPABILITY: REASSESSMENT FOR ESA People assessed as unfit for work are being reassessed. Between October 2010 and July 2011 in England 37 percent were reassessed as fit for work and 63 percent as eligible for employment support allowance (ESA). In Cornwall (excluding the Isles of Scilly) the figures were 34 percent fit for work and 66 percent eligible for ESA. Details are given by the Department for work and pensions in an excel spreadsheet dated 20 April 2012 here.
