Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Director of Public Health.

The report provides the Board with an overview of current health and wellbeing trends and sets out plans for the delivery of the 2019/20 work programmes for both the JSNA (Joint Strategic Needs Assessment) and the JHWS (Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy).

The Board is asked to:-

·         consider the proposals for the 2020 JSNA and confirm that a working group be established to bring together a revised JSNA by early 2020 and to commit to providing members for this group as appropriate;

·         consider whether there are any additional new areas of focus (beyond population segmentation, neighbourhoods and mortality changes) that should be included in the development of the 2020 JSNA;

·         discuss the proposals for the 2019 review of the Health and Wellbeing strategy, and decide whether this should continue the previous series or whether a report focusing on action for social isolation should be developed.

The Director of Public Health submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing the Board with an overview of current health and wellbeing trends and setting out plans for the delivery of the 2019/20 work programmes for both the JSNA (Joint Strategic Needs Assessment) and the JHWS (Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy).

The Director of Public Health highlighted a number of trends, in particular the declining rate of improvement or reduction in life expectancy for women in deprived areas.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         It would be useful to include information in relation to health assets and an assessment of whether partners were using them to the best effect.

·         The Care Quality Commission published a document on the state of the health of the nation and the format may usefully be adapted for Stockport.

·         More data and a format that providing information reflecting the neighbourhood approach, particularly in providing assurance and accountability for delivery of outcomes in those neighbourhoods. This would reinforce the place based/ neighbourhood agenda and link to the Stockport Family approach. It would also provide useful information to support the development of the Local Plan.

·         Efforts should be made to ensure common language and consistency with that used in Greater Manchester documents.

·         Further consideration needed to be given to the process for reviewing and refreshing the Strategy.

RESOLVED – (1) That the 2019/20 Strategic View be noted.

(2) That the Director for Public Health be requested to establish a working group to develop a revised JSNA by early 2020.
