Description: JOINT STRATEGIC NEEDS ASSESSMENT (JSNA)
The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act (2007) places a joint statutory duty on upper tier local authorities and Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to undertake a JSNA for their area.
The JSNA is a process that identifies the current and projected health and wellbeing needs of the local population. The JSNA is a key building block in enabling the understanding of the needs of local people. It contains our collective intelligence about local health and well being need, and forms a key element of Leicestershire Together’s overall understanding of community need outlined in the Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS). The JSNA is designed to underpin the commissioning priorities and strategic plans of the Local Authority and Local NHS. Specifically it should be used to inform the Sustainable Community Strategy, the Local Area Agreement and the NHS Operating Plan.
2009 JSNA REFRESH
The JSNA produced in 2008 was our first attempt to complete what was an ambitious and challenging task. This refresh builds on the work completed in 2008.
The 2009 JSNA consists of the following parts:
• Executive summary outlining the key headline findings of the 2009 JSNA and the priorities areas to be addressed to meet health and well-being needs.
• Public-facing report summarising the key findings of the Leicestershire 2009 Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) refresh report. It sets out the current needs of our population, future predicted needs and service developments that are required to meet these needs.
• Full-length chapters, available on a separate page, provide in-depth information in addition to that provided in the public-facing document.
• Data Atlas comprising of an interactive tool that can be used to explore the data presented within the 2009 JNSA, at regional, county and district level.
• Core Dataset containing all the raw data presented within the 2009 JSNA, in static tables.
