Description

Health and Wellbeing Boards have a duty to produce a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) for their area. The Statutory Guidance on Joint Strategic Needs Assessments and Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategies published by the Department of Health in March 2013 outlines the required scope of JSNAs; to identify health and social care needs that can be met or affected by local authority and NHS partners working collaboratively. In Cheshire East these partners are Cheshire East Council, Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), South Cheshire CCG and NHS England. In addition, involving a wide range of partners and local communities in developing the JSNA strengthens the assessment of local needs and ensures the JSNA is a useful resource base which can influence the work of service providers across all sectors, schools, criminal justice agencies and fire and rescue services. The public, including socially excluded and vulnerable members of the community, should be involved throughout the process of developing the JSNA so that their views, experiences, needs and assets are fully understood and that they have a genuine voice and influence over service planning.
