Executive Summary
The Strategic Needs Assessment for Adult Health and Social Care Integration is a collection
of evidence from a wide range of sources which has been pulled together to help inform the
Dumfries & Galloway Partnership Strategic Plan. The evidence includes both numbers and
statistics, and also explanations and quotes from people who have been consulted about
aspects of health and social care.
This needs assessment reflects the context in which the integration of health and social care
needs to operate. It includes information about different groups of people, some of the chal-
lenges and information around some of the services currently being provided. It is intended
that people working towards integration will be able to use this evidence as a reference
when it comes setting the scene for making decisions. The needs assessment answers
questions like ‘How many people would that affect?’ and ‘Is that becoming more or less of
an issue?’ as well as ‘Do we know enough about this topic?’. The needs assessment does
not offer suggestions or ‘fixes’ for the issues, nor does it discuss organisational and financial
arrangements and how these might be affected by integration.
The health and social care system is immensely complex and it is very difficult to cover
every aspect of every service; instead we have brought together a broad but shallow skim
across a wide range of topics. The evidence was pulled together over the spring and sum-
mer of 2015 and is a snapshot in time which mostly references information published in
2014. Many regular reports continue to be published by the government and other public
bodies over the time of producing the needs assessment and it is anticipated that updates
and amendments will be needed in the future.
This needs assessment has been produced as part of a suite of annexes that support the
Strategic Plan, and therefore does not cover information that might be reasonably expected
to be covered by another annexe, e.g. finance or performance management. There is also
a wider family of documents that have recently been produce to inform planning, such as
the Local Area Profiles (see www.crichtonobservatory.org.uk/) and the Poverty Strategy
(see http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=16608&p=0)

The needs assessment covers evidence around the following areas:
When drawing all the data together, certain themes began to emerge that many topics had
in common. We have brought these themes together to provide the context within which
services are being planned for the future. In the following sections the themes are de-
scribed and a small selection from the evidence has been provided from the joint strategic
needs assessment:

Isolation
The geography of Dumfries & Galloway can be physically isolating for people living in more
rural areas, particularly when driving becomes a problem and public transport is poor. It
also means that planners have to be creative to be able to deliver services evenly across
the region.
Just as important is the idea of social isolation. When people don’t have a strong support
network of friends and family, or find their community unsupportive or even just find that
they don’t have enough time to themselves, like many unpaid Carers, then their health and
wellbeing can suffer. Small communities can be very supportive but are not always equally
welcoming to everyone.
Here are a couple of examples that illustrate why isolation was chosen as theme:
The number of older adults (aged 75 or older)
living alone are likely to nearly double (from
6,400 to 11,700) by 2037
NRS Households projections, 2012 based
According to the Census 2011 there
were nearly 15,000 unpaid Carers in
our region, and 29% (4,300) of these
were providing more than 50 hours
of care per week
Census 2011, table LC3301SC
“Most of the things [for people with dementia] are in
Dumfries. We could get the taxi into the village and there
is a stagecoach every three hours; the Glasgow bus. There
are three steps and you have to go backwards. The local
buses you can walk on but there is no local bus, and here
you have a bus that is free and you have these three steps.
There is no bus service round here; our nearest bus stop is
about three miles away. I've always got to get a taxi. When
my husband was in the hospital it cost me £10 every day
just to get to the hospital bus.”
(PYF Case Study, Over 65,
Annandale & Eskdale, 29 August 2013)
“Since losing my husband
after 40 years of marriage, I
feel isolated, confused and
worthless. GP's have lost
their connection with the fam-
ily. I was disgusted with the
service provided by my late
husband's GP both while he
was unwell and also towards
me on the day he died.”
Community Survey 2011, F, 51
-60, Wigtownshire
Nearly every new resident that now arrives in my care
home suffers from some degree of social isolation.
The rise of dementia sufferers combined with the fact
that people are staying at home longer means that
having 1 or 2 short visits each day from care at home
is not sufficient to alleviate loneliness in many cases.”
Care Home Manager, 2014

Increasing Complexity
People are living longer on average than in the past. This is good news that people are now
surviving much longer with illnesses or conditions that were fatal in the past. But this does
mean that there are rising numbers of people who are living with multiple illnesses, on lots
of different drugs and with more complicated needs.
Society has also become more complex. Many people now live further away from their
families, and there are lots of different combinations of what we understand by the word
‘family’. The region is becoming more diverse which means that supporting people in the
right way for them is becoming more complicated.
There are also increasing numbers of different options for supporting people, shared be-
tween friends and family, public sector, charities, community volunteers, private businesses
and others. This is great news for people having lots of options but it does make under-
standing where to get what you need much harder.
Here are a couple of examples of what we mean:
There are around 12,500 people who are
living with 2 or more chronic illnesses, and
there are around 300 more people every
year.

The Scottish Public Health
Observatory estimates that for
Scotland in 2013 the difference
between life expectancy and healthy
life expectancy (in other words the
period of time in relative ill-health
before death) for women was
estimated to be 19.3 years of ill-
health, and for men to be 16.3 years
of ill-health.

“I am at my wits’ end struggling to get the
support that [I] need and deserve. It was
difficult to find out where and who to go to.
Everything that was needed was in all
different departments. Support should be
[accessible] in one place instead of going
from pillar to post.”

Resilient People
It is important for everyone to be healthy and living life on their own terms for as long as
possible. That is why two of the national health and wellbeing outcomes are:
People are able to look after and improve their own health and live in good health
for longer; and
Health and social care services are centred on helping to maintain or improve the
quality of life of services users.
In practice, this means focussing on things like: anticipatory care and prevention, tackling
health behaviours like smoking, poor diet and lack of exercise, re-ablement after events to
support people to return to previous independence, housing/adaptations that support
staying in your own home, making it attractive to volunteer and strengthening communities.
There is work focussing on all these areas and more, across the organisations supporting
the integration of health and social care.
Here is one example of an intervention that aims to improve people’s health by improving
their resilience (amongst other things):
The Keep Well project is an inequalities targeted intervention centred around the primary
prevention of cardiovascular disease; the team deliver health checks that take a whole
lifestyle approach lasting around an hour and follow-up one-to-one health coaching support
to people from deprived circumstances and specific vulnerable populations (such as the
“First I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy [heart failure] and then COPD, and
then I had diabetes. I’ve had osteoarthritis for years. The medications for heart failure
meant and I kept taking chest infections and every month I was at the hospital with
another chest infection. I’ve been on steroids for the past 8 years continually; its 15
mgs every day and then if doesn’t take effect it’s got to go up to 45 or 50. It’s very
difficult to lose weight on steroids, but I try. Then my knee cracked so now I need a
new knee. I don’t have any soft tissue in my knee, its bone rubbing against bone. I use
two sticks, I can’t walk outside I have to go on the scooter; I couldn’t even walk into a
wee shop. I am on a nebuliser five to six times a day plus I take medication and
inhalers, so that doesn’t help my breathing, my heart failure doesn’t help my breathing,
I am on high doses of morphine which doesn’t help my breathing plus I have problems
with knees and feet and now my legs play up. I get terrible, terrible pain not just in the
joints but in the muscles so they are trying to work out. It may well just be the steroids.
I’ve lost the muscle tone since being on steroids. So it’s not just the illness it’s the side
effects”.

homeless and unpaid Carers amongst others). The figure below illustrates the before and
after wellbeing levels of a group of people who had health coaching support; showing a
statistically significant improvement using 4 different measures.
Having established good wellbeing, these people are more likely to go on to make healthier
lifestyle choices to improve their health and cope better in the face of adverse
circumstances. Here are other examples where getting the right support can make a huge
difference to how people cope with challenges:

“I am hopeful because I am now volunteering at
AD action and I can share my experiences with
others. I am also hopeful for a brighter future,
that I will not still need help when I am older. For
once in my life I feel I am getting things sorted
and I can see an end in sight. Before I felt
anxious, vulnerable, powerless and stupid but
now I have got all these feelings under control. I
have used other services before and spoken to a
lot of people but the OT service has been the
best so far as I felt supported and listened to.”

I was living a totally isolated existence
until I joined the Time Bank and shared
my skills in IT. The quality of my life has
improved tremendously and I feel I have
purpose again. If I can help others
achieve the same, then I believe I am
doing a good job.”

Resilient Organisations
The perfect model of health and social care integration is to provide safe, high quality
support to people within the limits of the funds and people available to provide that support.
However, there are strong pressures that have been highlighted in the needs assessment
that are felt by all the organisations supporting health and social care.
The workforce is getting older, and there are more people than ever looking for support.
There are difficulties attracting the right people into jobs, and short term fixes are extremely
expensive. Many people in the health and social care workforce are retiring soon and there
are a lot of pressures on existing staff who need to be fit and healthy to do their jobs.
Here are just a few examples:
Reporting from the Dumfries &
Galloway NHS Board Report on
Revenue and Capital Financial
Performance: 3 Months to 30 June
2015 indicated that one of the key
financial risks identified was the
continued high costs associated
with medical locums and cover of
medical staffing rotas (£2.9m year to
date).

On the challenge of recruiting support workers:
“What about when the country is back up and running and shops can pay
£7.50 hourly rate of pay. Do you work 9-5, go home, put your feet up? Or do
you want to work for less money and you might get a phone call saying “can
you quickly nip to the pharmacy, this person’s meds need changed. Someone
is not well can you stay there until the GP comes?”

The Right Support, in the Right Place, at the Right Time
Going hand in hand with services becoming more complex, there is evidence to show that it
is a big challenge to get the balance right across the various services, or in other words to
ensure that people have the right support, in the right place, at the right time.
The balance across services might refer to what happens in acute hospital against what
happens in a community hospital or GP clinic, the balance of how support is shared across
all the partners involved in integration or even the balance between short term emergency
fixes against longer term preventative planning for people.
There are some markers that the ambition of right support, right place, right time are not
being fully met, one of which is the number of emergency hospital admissions, which are
less desirable than planned admissions and another is the number of delayed discharges.
This is the situation now in Dumfries & Galloway:
Emergency admissions have gone up
18% over the last four years for
residents aged 85 or older, from 1,600
in 2009/10 to 1,900 in 2013/14
Source: SMR01, ISD Scotland
The number of bed days lost due to
delayed discharges across all our
hospitals have increased from 3,000 in
2011-12 to 12,800 in 2014-15

“Sometimes I need to see the GP but can’t get an
appointment; they say I should phone at 8am, but I
need someone to help me phone, and my support
workers are not here at that time in the morning.”
Nithsdale Community Consultation on Health and Social
Care
“The Community Hospital at Stranraer is virtually closed down at the weekend, most
patients are sent to Dumfries which I would say is ridiculous, the staff and nurses and
consultants in the actual hospital are very good. Outpatient department are a joke, you
can go up there and sit there for as long and at times there are a group of doctors and
sometimes nurses all sitting and drinking tea. As for NHS 24 they are an absolute joke!
Before my late wife died I was on the phone for a good two hours just trying to get a
doctor, my wife was in a lot of pain due to cancer, the doctor had to come from near
Glasgow, a damn disgrace, you can’t beat the local service and doctors.”

Person centred
The White Paper, Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS (England, 2010) coined the
phrase “no decision about me, without me”. The organisations that support health and
social care integration are much wider than the NHS, but the idea that all services should be
person-centred is a shared core value across them all.
People tell us that one of the most important things to support people is to really listen to
them. Having choices over how their support is delivered is really valued by people.
“It doesn’t matter to me if the counsellor was a man or a woman. What’s
important is that I could make a proper connection with them, and that we
could relate to each other. But it is important that they are non-judgmental.”

Here is another example: It is thought that most people approaching the end of their life
would prefer to die at home or in a hospice setting. Dying in hospital is the least desirable
option, according to the National End of Life Care Intelligence Network in England1; and this
might be similar to what people in Dumfries & Galloway might also feel:
“Dumfries & Galloway has an ageing population which will include older LGBT
people. Many older LGBT people however are not out and are scared to be ‘found
out’ due to their history of living under legislative and societal homophobia. They are
often isolated from family, or haven’t had children, so unless they have a surviving
partner, they are likely to be ageing alone. Our respondents felt that LGBT services
were often more focussed on the needs of younger people, and that care homes and
older people’s services are often not even aware of the existence of LGBT older
adults, far less their needs, and as such they are completely invisible and their needs
are overlooked. They also described a fear of prejudice or harassment at the hands
of staff or other residents / service users within older people’s services.”

Inequalities
The term inequalities is used to refer to both the personal characters protected by law, such
as age and ethnicity, as well as other aspects that make people more vulnerable to ill
health, such as poverty or the demands of being an unpaid Carer.
There are many cases where it can be seen that social inequalities are linked to health
inequalities or worse outcomes for people. In the most general terms, people at the bottom
have worse outcomes across most things that are measured. For instance, those living in
the most deprived 20% of neighbourhoods are more than twice as likely to be admitted as
an emergency compared to those living in the least deprived areas. For admissions in
2011/12 to 2013/14 the admission rate in SIMD12 quintile 1 was 16,063 per 100,000
population and 6,948 per 100,000 population in SIMD12 quintile 5.
Another example is the large differences in life expectancy at birth across the region at
intermediate geography zone (2009-13), with 10.7 years between the best life expectancy
for men in Annan South (80.4 years) and the worst life expectancy for men in Stranraer
Central (69.7). Female life expectancy has an even greater range of 12.1 years between
best life expectancy in Georgetown (89.8) and worst life expectancy in Dumfries West
(77.7).
People also tell us that when your face doesn’t fit, for whatever reason, small communities
can be very isolating.
“Scared to come out as LGBT in case there's homophobic people
out there living close by, and its small town.”

If Dumfries & Galloway is comparable to the national research done by the British Legion,
an estimated 2,300 veterans out of an estimated 11,300 in our region may be suffering with
psychological health problems.
The needs assessment does not have information about absolutely everything, and a range
of gaps in local knowledge have been identified over the course of putting it together. Some
of the areas where not enough information was available at the time of production include:
the challenges faced by the third sector work force, housing needs for vulnerable people,
needs of gypsy traveller and black & minority ethnic communities, physical health of mental
health patients, social capital and community resilience, the impact of obesity and several
others. There is work planned or in progress for many of these areas, but that may not be
available to support planning at this time.
The following pages contain a population profile for each locality with some of most useful
statistics gathered together. For further explanation and analysis of these stats, please see
the main body of the Strategic Needs Assessment.
“'It’s big. Our research tells us that up to 20 per cent of veterans suffer from
psychological health problems. That’s over half a million people from an
estimated three million veterans according to the British Legion. A worryingly
large number, given that service personnel start out as fit, healthy and selected
through rigorous training. Veterans are also strongly represented in the
criminal justice system and in the homeless population”.
