7 MEASURES OF GENERAL HEALTH STATUS
7.1 General Health
The local Health and Lifestyle Survey conducted during 2007 and the more recent
Prevalence Survey conducted during 2009 collected information on general health.
More information about the local surveys is available in section 13.2 on page 790 and
more information about definitions from these surveys in section 13.4 on page 805.
Responders were asked to rate their health as excellent, very good, good, fair or poor.
Figure 34 illustrates their responses from the Prevalence Survey for each Locality. It
can be seen that there is very little variation among the three Localities. The underlying
data are given in the APPENDIX on page 832.
