Decision details

Mike Walker and Farhat Abbas, Information, Intelligence, Quality and Performance Team were welcomed to the meeting and presented the attached presentation.

Every year the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB) approves the annual work programme for Lancashire's Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA).  In June 2017, the HWBB agreed the continued development of the neighbourhood intelligence platform to support the Lancashire and South Cumbria Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP), and to develop the JSNA service with a range of partners in the County.  The report updated the HWBB on the progress of the agreed actions and the next steps.  It also recommended a programme of work for the JSNA team for 2018/19 proposed by the JSNA Leadership Group.

The JSNA has a core offer of:

·  Lancashire Insight website

·  Bespoke support

·  Thematic JSNAs

The Board agreed there needs to be a data sharing agreement between Primary Care/Local Authorities/Hospitals, however this is met with obstacles, ie legal challenges, information governance.  Discharging service would benefit greatly from the sharing of data for planning purposes.  There also needs to be a more strategic understanding within neighbourhoods of the STP.

Resolved:  That the Health and Wellbeing Board:

i)  Received the main outputs from the 2017/18 work programme.

ii)  Received details of additional work undertaken during 2017/18.

iii)  Commented on and approved the JSNA plans for 2018/19 as recommended by the JSNA Leadership Group to

·  Support the ongoing development of population health analytics at the neighbourhood level to build system-wide business intelligence capacity across the STP.

·  Undertake special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) JSNA.

·  Undertake eye health JSNA.

iv)  Agreed to consult on a Data Sharing Agreement between Primary Care/Hospitals/Local Authorities and to look at what information requires sharing for planning purposes.  Sakthi Karunanithi agreed to lead on this and report back to a future meeting.
