Local Context. The business industry profile of East Ayrshire is characterised by under-representation of service, technology and business industries; a legacy of xxxxxxxxxx and despoiled land generally unsuited for the needs of modern companies; and increased commuting to the Glasgow conurbation. In addition, while it is recognised that there are good transport connections, the challenge in respect of transport is to develop an integrated and sustainable transport system to further improve accessibility to town centres, particularly Kilmarnock, and the road and rail links between East Ayrshire communities and beyond. There were 2,600 ‘VAT Registered Businesses’ in East Ayrshire in 2006, a rate of 26 businesses per 1,000 adults (Scottish average is 31/1,000). To achieve the Scottish average in ‘Businesses per 1,000 adults’, an additional 400 businesses would be required in East Ayrshire. Of East Ayrshire’s ‘Working Age Economically Active Persons’, 13.2% had no qualifications in 2006 (Scottish figure is 9.7%). The ‘Business Birth Rate’ in 2005 was 2.5/1,000 adults (below the Scottish average of 2.8) but above the death rate of 1.9/1,000 adults.

Local Context. Although the overall health of the population in East Ayrshire is improving, where average ‘Life Expectancy’ for males has increased from 72.8 years in 2000-02 to 73.7 years in 2003-05, this is slightly less than the life expectancy for males across Scotland, which was 73.3 years in 2000-02 and 74.2 years in 2003-05. Female life expectancy has also increased over the same period and is 78 years in East Ayrshire; however, this is lower than the life expectancy of 79.2 years for females across Scotland. In terms of the three main causes of ‘Premature Mortality Rates’ in Scotland, namely cancer, coronary heart disease and stroke, national trends are moving in a downward direction. In East Ayrshire, this downward trend is mirrored for: 1996 - coronary heart disease – 140; cancer – 188; and stroke -140 per 100,000 population; to 2004 - 85, 166 and 28 per 100,000 – but still higher than the Scottish national rate. Respiratory disease is a significant cause of premature mortality within East Ayrshire, with levels consistently above the Scottish average. In 2005, mortality levels in the under 75s were 54 per 100,000 compared with a national level of 41 per 100,000. Although life expectancy as a whole in East Ayrshire is improving, there are emerging health issues, which are giving cause for concern, including the significant adverse ‘Impact of Alcohol on Health’. Within East Ayrshire, there has been a sharp increase in the number of alcohol related hospital admissions, rising by 47% in the last 5 years. ‘Obesity’ is another emerging health issue. In Scotland, 65% of men and 60% of women are now overweight or obese (Body Mass Index greater than 30kg/m2). Levels of obesity in school children have increased over the last five years, with the greatest rise seen in primary 7 children, where 34% were overweight, 19% obese and 11% severely obese in 2004/05. ‘Health Inequalities’ in East Ayrshire appear to be widening. Although the average male life expectancy has increased, the rate of increase has been more rapid in the more affluent areas, with the least affluent areas falling behind. The decline in death rates from common conditions, such as heart disease, has also been more rapid among the more affluent. ‘Deprivation’ is one of the main determinants of health and 31 of East Ayrshire’s 154 data zones are ranked in the worst 0-15% data zones in respect of the Health Domain in Scotland.
