Geography matters… • Understanding differences in geography allows you to target services more efficiently and can improve access.
% BME (2001 Census) • There higher percentages of BME groups in Truro, Falmouth and Newquay, including a hotspot associated with Treliske.
Access to Services • Areas on the map would have to travel for over 30 minutes by public transport to access their nearest hospital. • This includes almost all of North Cornwall, large proportions of the south coast, central Cornwall, the Lizard and far west Penwith.
