Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)
YHPHO has become part of Public Health England, joining its Knowledge and Intelligence Team (Northern and Yorkshire).
The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) has been a statutory requirement for upper-tier local authorities and primary care trusts since 2008. The JSNA is a tool to help identify groups where needs are not being met and that are experiencing poor outcomes. This will lead to agreed commissioning priorities that improve outcomes and reduce health inequalities.
The NHS White Paper, 'Equity and excellence: liberating the NHS' (2010) proposed the establishment of ‘health and wellbeing boards’ by April 2012. They will take on the function of joining up the commissioning of local NHS services, social care and health improvement and will be responsible for leading the JSNA process.
Find out more about JSNA at the Local Government Improvement and Development website www.idea.gov.uk.

Moving to an enhanced JSNA: a temperature check on progress across Yorkshire and Humber during transition
This report aims provides a snapshot of some of the common challenges currently facing local areas
in Yorkshire and Humber in developing enhanced JSNA. It focuses on the effective
use of evidence and intelligence at local level, showcases examples of good practice from
across the region and identifies key messages to support improvements in local JSNA programmes.

The JSNA Navigator - Children and Young People
This resource aims to take you directly to the data which you need when conducting a JSNA locally for children and young people. It is divided into five domains (population; social and place well-being; lifestyles and health improvement; health and well-being status; and service utilisation).
Access the JSNA Navigator from the ChiMat website.
Maps of deprivation for Yorkshire and Humber districts
Maps of the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2010 have been produced for the region and for each district within the region. These maps aim to highlight where the population lives as well as the more and less deprived areas.

Marmot indicators for local authorities
Charts for each local authority showing the key indicators of the social determinants of health, health outcomes and social inequality that correspond, as closely as is currently possible, to the indicators proposed in Fair Society, Healthy Lives.

Regional enhanced small area dataset
YHPHO has also produced a regional level small dataset as part of the HIYAH programme with data available at Local Super Output Areas (LSOA) and MSOA geographies.
The big opportunity report
Two reports addressing health inequalities in Yorkshire and the Humber. The second report "acting on the wider determinants of health" (March 2011) identifies information at a local level to help organisations understand the position in relation to the six policy themes identified in the Marmot review. The part one report (March 2010) highlights challenges relating to the changing population, current lifestyles and variations in the management of long term conditions.
