– Report by Acting Director of Public Health

Minutes:

18.1     The Board considered the East Sussex Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and Assets (JSNAA) Annual Report 2016/17.

18.2     The Board asked several questions and the following answers were provided:

·         The JSNAA website is open access and users are not required to register. This means that whilst it is possible to tell how many hits each webpage receives, it is not possible to tell who is accessing them. It is not, therefore, possible to determine whether borough and district council housing departments make use of the information on the website. These departments do, however, have a working relationship with Connecting 4 You and East Sussex Better Together (ESBT) where they are informed about core planning and identified priorities of health and social care organisations, which are based on the JSNAA data. This working relationship also includes discussion about district and borough councils’ role in developing housing support, extra care housing, sheltered housing and general needs housing.

·         Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford Clinical Commissioning Group (EHS CCG) and Hastings and Rother Clinical Commissioning Group (HR CCG) staff have received helpful training from the Public Health Team on the JSNAA.

18.3     There was agreement that the JSNAA was a valuable tool and should be promoted by Members of the Board wherever possible, for example, in discussions with GP’s Patient Participation Groups (PPGs)

18.4     The Board RESOLVED to note the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and Assets (JSNAA) Annual Report 2016/17.

A report by the Acting Director of Public Health

Additional documents:

Minutes:

13.1     This item was introduced by Cynthia Lyons, East Sussex Acting Director of Public Health. The JSNA has been expanded to include community assets and resources; 68 JSNAA areas have been updated in the past year; plans are in place to further develop the JSNAA web presence, with a new communications plan, an initiative to increase email alert subscribers, and increasing use of user feedback to drive website improvements.

 

13.2     In response to questions, Cynthia Lyons told members that:

 

·         Community & voluntary sector groups could become involved in needs and asset assessment work via the business planning process.

·         Needs assessments employ a variety of engagement tools to ensure that they reach all service users, including those for whom English is not the first language – e.g. talking directly to communities and to representative/advocacy groups.

·         The needs assessment process is used to ensure that resources are targeted effectively – e.g. identifying where older people are most at risk of falls and investing accordingly.

 

13.3     RESOLVED – that the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment & Assets Annual Report be noted.
