Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)/Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWS) Update
To receive a verbal Update from Dr Andrew Wilson, South Cheshire Health Clinical Commissioning Group.
Minutes:
An update was provided in respect of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment.
The JSNA was in the process of being refreshed, with a view to completing by August. This work was concentrating on the main priorities of end of life care, dementia, health care and children in need. The next phase would concentrate on predictable death work and an important part of this work would be to identify health inequalities.
It was considered that there needed to be further discussion around the JSNA, as to how to widen it out to include the housing and poverty agenda and how to bring the various intelligence together.
It was suggested that it would be appropriate to hold an Away Day to consider this issue and it was agreed that this matter should be considered at the next informal meeting of the Board on 21 May, together with the scoping of the JHWS. It was noted that that the Fire Authority did a lot of work in the community and it was felt that a representative from the Fire Authority should be invited to send a representative, in order to consider how their data could be fed into the JSNA.
It would be necessary to start to consider where the opportunities and strengths were with partners coming together and where the Health and Wellbeing Board could make a difference. The suggested objectives would be reported back to the Board.
