80 Joint Strategic Needs Assessment Refresh PDF 40 KB
Chrissy Wright to present
Minutes:
Chrissy Wright, Strategic Commissioning Manager, reported that the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) was last reviewed and revised in 2011 and a further refresh now required. In accordance with Government Guidance, the refreshed document must now include a Directory of Assets which meant community assets, physical infrastructure and individuals.
The report set out the proposed structure of the refreshed document as follows:-
Section 1
- Overarching cross-cutting areas
Demographics
Health conditions
Lifestyle and population behaviours
Wider determinants of health
Communities of interest
National Policy drivers
- Life Stages (as set out in the Health and Wellbeing Strategy)
0-3 starting well
4-19 developing well
20-64 living and working well
65+ ageing and dying well
- Assets
Physical infrastructure e.g. buildings, green spaces
Social and community networks e.g. VCS
Individuals e.g. Neighbourhood Champions
Section 2
- Directory of Needs Analysis
Many analyses undertaken by statutory organisations but no repository for all the documents. It would be a resource which all agencies should be mandated to contribute to, a resource that could be accessed by all agencies, enabled an information and data gap analysis and reduced duplication. The Directory would be accessed from the Council home page
Section 3
- Frequency of JSNA
It would be constantly updated. It was proposed that 2013 would be the last full refresh, subject to future Government guidance, with a 6 monthly update submitted to the Board on any additions/variations to the data
Discussion ensued on the document with the following comments/issues raised:-
· A micro site to be set up where all the information could be collated
· “Final” refresh gave the impression that it was never to be refreshed when this was not the case. It would be continually updated
· A point in time e.g. September for agencies to base their forthcoming commissioning plans
· The voice of the child was fundamental to the document
· Need to get the media involved
Resolved:- (1) That the proposals set out in the report for the refresh of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment be approved.
(2) That the document be amended to reflect the comments made with regard to the word “final”.
(3) That further reports be submitted on a six monthly basis.
