Decision details

The Board considered a report which outlined an alternative proposal to approval of JSNA reviews for publication and also of the work programme. The proposal was for the responsibility for sign off of the reviews for publication and of the work programme to be delegated to the Cheshire East Council Executive Director of Adults, Health and Integration or the Director of Public Health and to approve the work programme approval process.

After the information was presented to the Executive Director of Adults, Health and Integration or the Director of Public Health it would then be shared with elected members and a two week window would exist during which time any concerns or issues could be raised. After that (assuming no concerns are raised) it would be published on the website.

The process would enable more timely production and publication of JSNA reviews, enabling more prompt action across Cheshire East Place to improve health and wellbeing and address inequalities.

RESOLVED: That:-

The proposal to update the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) approval process and the work programme, in which responsibility for approval of the reviews and the work programme for publication will be delegated to the Cheshire East Council Executive Director of Adults, Health and Integration or Director of Public Health be approved.
