a direct influence on the demand for gynaecological services. has a higher rate of conception in females aged 15-17 years compared to . Rates of admission for childhood injuries are significantly higher in Gwynedd and Anglesey than the average. Most injuries in 0 to five year olds occur in the home. Injuries are a largely preventable cause of ill health, are linked closely to deprivation and impact greatly on health service use by children and young people. Immunisation is a highly effective and cost effective health care intervention. Rates in parts of North Wales currently fall below the 95% uptake rate required to protect the population from outbreaks of serious infectious diseases. Interventions to promote breastfeeding are cost effective and can reduce demand on health care services. Future Maternal and child health services should seek to ensure: a whole systems approach ensuring preventable causes of ill health are addressed at every opportunity; interventions are targeted to reduce health inequality & inequities; evidence based interventions to prevent ill health are systematically introduced as part of clinical practice; health care delivered as part of the wider system; NHS and partner agencies identify and agree key priorities for health prevention and early intervention. 1 Background The purpose of this report is to provide information to support the North Wales Review of Maternity, Neonatal, and Gynaecology and Child Health services. The aim of the review is to describe the optimum service delivery model that will ensure safe, sustainable and efficient maternity, neonatal, gynaecology and paediatric health services are provided for the population of North Wales. The future model of service delivery will seek to improve population health and optimise health and well-being outcomes for women and children.
