The purpose of the joint strategic needs assessment (JSNA) is to provide an evidence base that identifies current and future health and wellbeing needs of the local population which should be used to inform key local priority areas within the joint health and wellbeing strategy and guide the commissioning of health, wellbeing and social care services.
The Health and Social Care Bill 2011 created a central role for the JSNA as the primary focus for local leaders to identify local health and social care needs, and building a robust evidence base on which local commissioning plans can be developed. Staffordshire is a two tier local authority and the guidance has been interpreted locally by using information and intelligence at both a lower and upper tier authority level in order to identity needs at the appropriate population level.
