deteriorating, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2025.
Deaths before the age of 75 in Gosport rose to 392.15 per 100,000 residents in 2023. That is the only health figure published for the borough here, and it is a single annual reading, so there is no run behind it and no second measure to confirm it. District-level mortality rests on small counts, so one year's rise is a starting point rather than evidence that health in the borough is deteriorating. A second reading would be needed before the direction could be stated.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about Gosport. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
