What does it tell us?

• The number of people is estimated to be 703,000, and this should rise to 838,200 by 2033

• 12% of people living in Lincolnshire now live within the 20% most deprived areas of England

• Females are expected to live to be 82 years and males to 78 years




What needs to be done

• JSNA to happen every year;

• More people to take part and share information;

• Produce JSNA report every year;

• Support the report with experts talking about certain things;

• Focus on health inequalities;

• Website needed for JSNA information





JSNA identified priorities

• Promoting healthy lifestyles

• Improving health and wellbeing for older people

• Delivering high quality care for ill health

• Improving health and reducing health inequalities for children

• Reducing the number of people who are able to work



How this will be developed

• Five themes (based on JSNA priorities)

• Each theme has at least one penson from the Health and Wellbeing Board

• A Public Health Consultant (Assistant Director) leads on the development of each theme

• Each theme uses evidence from JSNA to consult and agree priorities and actions

• Five year piece of work (2013 to 2018) looked at every year by the Health and Wellbeing Board

Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy

Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy

LINk - HealthWatch• In order to strengthen the voice of patients

Existing Local Involvement Networks (LINks) will become local HealthWatch organisations.

• Nationally; HealthWatch England will be a new independent consumer champion within the Care Quality Commission

• Locally; delivered by councils, local HealthWatch sit on Health and Wellbeing boards, and can

report concerns about quality of local services to HealthWatch England

Local Healthwatch

• Will talk to people about their health and social care needs to make sure that services do what they say and have done so far

• Will provide a single point of contact, by connecting people to the right NHS and social care advice and advocacy services

• Will help people to find information so they can then choose the services they need and require

• Will support people to speak out and give those who want it, an opportunity to get more involved in a range of different ways

Healthwatch Functions

• Carry on doing the work the LINk do,

• Provide information to support patient choice:

• Have a representative on Local Health & Wellbeing boards

• Possibly provide complaints advocacy (ICAS):

Healthwatch Will

• Be in place in October 2012, building on the current LINks

• Be an organisation in its own right, and no longer a network

• Have ‘members’ who can be paid

• Have participants as well as ‘members’

• Have to produce its own annual accounts

Healthwatch May• Appoint its own employees.• Arrange for an employee (or member or

committee) or some other person to do things for them

• Have approximately 8-9 members of staff per LHW (some of these will possibly be from PCT PALs departments and some from existing ICAS offices)

• Be a ‘high-street’ presence and a body in its own right
