Issue - meetings

The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment 2018 is based upon presentations given to three themed workshops which informed the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy in July 2018, which has provided the evidence base for the 2019-2023 Strategy. 

A further report and presentation updated demographic and health data in the context of the draft Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2019-2023. The presentation focused on three findings to example how the JSNA will support the commissioning of services, namely population growth, domestic violence and mental health. Three specific questions around these areas were highlighted which generated a debate at the meeting, in the light of which the Board resolved to:

(i)  Approve the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment 2018, as set out at Appendix A to the report;

(ii)  Agree that the findings of the JSNA should be taken into account in the development of strategies and the appraisal of strategies developed by partner organisations; and

(iii)  Support the commissioning of services by partner organisations that align with the JSNA findings.
