Melksham and District Health Survey
"HEALTH NEEDS QUESTIONNAIRE"

During October and November 2002 the Melksham Health Needs
Questionnaire was sent out to the public via Doctors Surgeries,
Chemists, The Town Hall and the Tourist Information Centre.

The closing date for replies to the Questionnaire was November 20th 2002.

The Questionnaire contained 20 questions relating to healthcare
facilities and services within Melksham District.

The initial results have been collated and are available to view
by clicking on the buttons on the right of this page. The results
will display in a separate window. They are separated into age categories:
"Under 21", "21 to 40", "41 to 65", "65 to 80" and "Over 80"
each age group then has 5 sections:
"Adults", "Parents of Dependent Children", "Carer", "Disabled" and "Frequent User of Health Services"
Each respondent was asked to tick their age group and which
section applied to them. If more than one box was ticked then
the results were entered in the relevant sections.

The questions that were included in the form are displayed along the
top of the results page. Question 16 asked "What additional healthcare
services would you like to be provided locally". As this was a written
reply and not just "ticking a box" the results to this question will be
evaluated and published at a later date.
