Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Director of Public Health.

The Health and Wellbeing Board has a statutory duty to produce a regular Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). This report introduces the 2015/16 JSNA summary document which is the main output of the 2015/16 JSNA Process. The JSNA has been produced in partnership, under the leadership of the Health and Wellbeing Board, with the particular involvement of Stockport Council, Stockport HealthWatch and Stockport CCG.

The summary document identifies the key priorities for health and wellbeing for the next three years as identified by the JSNA analysis and provides an overview of key trends in health and wellbeing.

The Board is asked to

·         to consider and comment on the priorities identified on page 8 of the summary report, and detailed more fully on pages 9-12.

·         to endorse the revised 2015/16 JSNA for publication and communication in March 2016.

·         to approve the next steps identified for the 2016/17 JSNA work programme.

The Director of Public Health submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing the Board with the summary of the 2015/16 JSNA summary document which was the main output of the 2015/16 JSNA Process.

The 2015/16 JSNA had been produced in partnership, under the leadership of theBoard, with the particular involvement of Stockport Council, Stockport HealthWatch and Stockport CCG. The summary document identified the key priorities for health and wellbeing for the next three years as identified by the JSNA analysis and provides an overview of key trends in health and wellbeing.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         The response rate to the JSNA consultation process had been encouraging, with particularly high responses for the consultations on lifestyle, vulnerable and at risk groups, and for long term condition prevalence. Ensuring wider engagement with the JSNA and development of the Joint Health & Wellbeing Strategy would be a challenge.

·         It was important for the JSNA findings to underpin the Stockport Together work, particularly the preventative strand. It was a challenge to weave the JSNA into the implementation of the Stockport Together model.

·         The important findings relating to children and families would need to be addressed as it was currently outside of the Stockport Together programme.

RESOLVED – (1) That the revised 2015/16 Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) be endorsed for publication and communication in March 2016 and those involved in the project be thanked for their hard work.

(2) That the next steps identified for the 2016/17 JSNA work programme be approved.

(3) That the priorities identified on page 8-12 of the summary report be supported.
