North East Lincolnshire
Our Health and Care Partnership is made up of health and care organisations from across North East Lincolnshire who are working together to improve the health of our population.
Our vision
Our local health and care system has a strong history of working together collaboratively. This means that our community, health, and care organizations have been closely linked for a long time, which has been really beneficial for the people living here.
We’ve formed partnerships that allow different organizations to work together when we need to tackle big issues and priorities in our area. Even though each organization still has its own jobs to do, we can easily come together when it makes sense to make sure we’re providing the best services possible.
We’re moving towards a more holistic approach, which means we’re focusing on treating the whole person – their mental, physical, and social needs, whether they’re children or adults.
In our area, we’re committed to continuing this integrated way of working to improve outcomes for everyone. By collaborating closely, we can tackle health differences across our population and work towards reducing inequalities. Our residents are central to everything we do, and we’re forming Accountable Care Teams that will focus on the health of specific groups of people using an approach based on their needs and the barriers they face.
The challenge (where we are now)
- NEL has a 156,940 resident population of mostly coastal and urban communities. NEL has variation in inequalities and deprivation: 37.7% of population live in 20% most deprived areas.
- In the 2021 census 43.1% of the population reported very good health compared to 48.5% nationally. 35% reported good health compared to 33.7% nationally
- NEL is in the highest 10% nationally for fuel poverty at 21%. Across the area it ranges from 7.6% in the least deprived up to 26% in the most deprived areas.
- NEL has the highest premature birth rate in England and 1 in 4 children live in poverty.
