6 Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), a new approach for Enfield pdf icon PDF 306 KB

To receive the report of Tessa Lindfield, Director of Public Health.

Minutes:

RECEIVED the report of Tessa Lindfield (Director of Public Health).

 

NOTED

 

Tessa Lindfield’s introduction of the report highlighted:

?  The JSNA should provide a comprehensive picture of the current and future health and wellbeing needs, and inform decisions and commissioning across the system to achieve better outcomes and reduce inequalities.

?  The previous Enfield JSNA was web-based as a series of PDF documents and was now unfit for purpose. The JSNA was now due for review. The requirements for the new JSNA were discussed at the last Board development session and proposals were set out in the report.

?  The JSNA steering group had been reconvened

 

IN RESPONSE comments and questions were received, including:

 

1.    In response to the Chair’s queries regarding the timeline, it was advised that a JSNA was subject to ongoing development, but the data in the new JSNA would be made easier to update to ensure that the latest data could be made available to a large audience. This also coincided with work on a HWB website to be launched officially in the Autumn.

2.    The Chair requested an update report to HWB in October.

ACTION:  Tessa Lindfield

 

AGREED that Health and Wellbeing Board

(i)  endorsed the proposal for the new Enfield JSNA development;

(ii)  endorsed the delegated authority to JSNA steering group for development and maintenance of the new Enfield JSNA.
