Both counties are regarded as prosperous with relatively low socio-economic deprivation and associated morbidity indices. However, this general picture disguises significant pockets of deprivation and associated psychiatric morbidity in the urban centres of Aylesbury and Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, and of Banbury, Bicester, Didcot and Oxford in Oxfordshire. In each of these urban centres are populations characterised by relative socio-economic deprivation and higher psychiatric morbidity. These include ethnic minority communities and significant numbers of refugees in some settings.
