Joint Strategic Needs Assessment Liz Robinson JSNA Co-ordinator Newcastle City Council Helen Wilding Wellbeing and Health Partnership Co-ordinator
What is a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment? • A JSNA should be the shared process to inform health and social care commissioning plans. • The responsibility is jointly placed on Directors of Adult Services, Children's Services and Pubic Health • It should be a Joint process involving the local authority and NHS Commissioning rather than these organisations carrying out needs assessment’s separately. • It should be Strategic by looking at population level health and wellbeing with particular focus on groups experiencing the poorest health and wellbeing outcomes. • It should anticipate future demand for services 3 – 5 years ahead.
The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment • Demographic data • Research • Historical performance • and trends • Service activity • Legislation and • Government policy • Partner and • Community views • Available resources • Shared priorities Understanding need together Developing priorities together
Future role for JSNA • The City Council and GP Commissioning Consortia will have an equal and explicit duty to undertake the JSNA through the new Health and Wellbeing Board • The Council and GP Commissioning Consortia must have regard to JSNA in exercising relevant commissioning functions. • The Health and Wellbeing Board must produce a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy based on the JSNA.
Newcastle’s Approach • The JSNA Project Board steers the process chaired by the Executive Director of Adult Services and Culture Services. • It includes the NHS, the Council and NCVS. • The development of the content of the JSNA is overseen by the Wellbeing and Health Partnership and Children's Trust’s arrangements.
Newcastle’s Approach • A sectional approach with each section led by a topic lead e.g. ‘Adults with learning disabilities section’. • A governance group (where possible) who owns the section. e.g. the Learning Disabilities Partnership Board • A principle that the governance group need to be inclusive in their approach and this will vary depending on the section.
What people have said they like • That the result of this work is available as a website www.newcastlejsna.org.uk • Partners appear to like the sectional approach. • Has been used by the voluntary sector, practice based commissioning groups as well as NHS and local authority commissioning.
Where it needs to improve • People not involved in the governance arrangements are not sure how to be involved and contribute. • Needs to look more at the wider social determinants of health • Needs to be better at gathering knowledge of providers and local experience in a systematic way • Needs to develop more to inform NHS commissioning
