Community Profiles Questionnaire
1. Your organisation :
2. Your post:
3. Looking at the draft indicators proposed (see Annex 1, attached below), would these form
the basis of a useful profile?
4. Are there other indicators that should be considered?
We are proposing to produce community profiles that match CHP/CHCP boundaries. At a sub-CHP
level, we propose to use ‘neighbourhood’ localities in the Glasgow City CHCPs and intermediate
zone geographies in the rest of the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area.
5 a) Do you agree with presenting data by local neighbourhood (from Housing Forums) in
the Glasgow City CHCPs? (see Map 1 attached below)
Yes/No/No comment
If no, please explain why and if possible provide an alternative
b)
Do you agree with presenting data by intermediate zone in the rest of the Greater
Glasgow and Clyde area? (see Map 2 attached below)
Yes/No/No comment
If no, please explain why and if possible provide an alternative
6. Can you briefly describe how you would intend using updated community health profiles?
7. Any other comments (e.g. on proposed data presentation, preferred format for profiles, etc)
