Delivered through the Health and Wellbeing Board The State of Suffolk currently being refreshed. This will inform the first refresh of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, a ten year strategy 2012 – 2022, with an early priority review during 2015.

Our JSNA There is no mandatory data set that must be included and no formal output structure that must be adhered to. So in each area a JSNA will look different. Ours is a continuous cycle of feedback and development

The aims of a JSNA are to: Provide analyses of data to show the health and wellbeing status of local communities Define where inequalities exist Provide information on local community views and evidence of effectiveness of existing interventions which will help to shape future plans for services Highlight key findings based on the information and evidence collected Identifies gaps in service provision, documenting unmet need

Vision To produce an on-line suite of comprehensive and easy to use resources that accurately describe and analyse the current and future health and wellbeing of our local community, with a prime purpose to inform and guide commissioning. It adopts a system wide approach across local authorities, the CCGs, the community and voluntary sector and the voice of local people. In Summary: Suffolk JSNA AccessibleEngaging Fulfil statutory duty – to inform commissioning, and inform CCGs Useful Current & best use of data

The State of Suffolk The State of Suffolk is a key document of the JSNA and is intended to provide an overview of the strategic health and wellbeing related needs in Suffolk, including the wider issues that affect local people such as housing, education etc. It will provide an overarching analysis, taking a life-course approach and will demonstrate areas of need highlighted by the data which will enable the JHWBS to prioritise those areas which require action.

The Health and Wellbeing Strategy ‘ Our vision is that people in Suffolk live healthier, happier lives. We also want to narrow the differences in life expectancy between those living in our most deprived communities and those who are more affluent through greater improvements in disadvantaged communities. ’ The State of Suffolk will inform the 2015 strategy refresh ‘Kick-off’ and initial development meetings already held Ideas to be discussed with the Programme Office and the Board.
