Joint Strategic Needs Assessment
What next?
• Engage with partners:
• These are our thoughts at the moment
but what do you think?
• Analysis of IL;SL and Darzi review
• Produce a strategy in Spring 2008 that
we will consult on
What we know about life and
health in South East Essex
• Aging population – greater demand for
services
• Low levels ethnic minorities for UK but
higher in Southend than other parts of
S.E. Essex
• Life expectancy increased but 8 years
difference between worst & best
• Smoking is single most preventable cause of
illness and early death (400 local people per
year die)
• Obesity can reduce life expectancy up to 9
years (estimate 1 in 5 local adults obese)
• Children living in poverty – leads to poor
health
• Some groups of people may not access
services they need to stay healthy
Our ambition
•
•
•
•
Better health
Health gap will reduce
Easier to stay healthy
Health services:
– safe
– high quality
– suitable and convenient time and place
– clean pleasant and modern facilities
– staff well trained and helpful
• long-term conditions supported to:
– stay well
– prevent or delay deterioration of health.
Does this sound like the right
ambition for the PCT?
What do you think?
Commitments
• We want to set an ambitious agenda
with public health priorities
• Improving Lives;Saving Lives sets out a
number of “pledges”
• We are suggesting a number of
commitments to make to our population
that we will regularly report our progress
on
Better health and well-being
• Increase life expectancy
• Reduce early deaths from stroke and
heart disease by 40% and from cancer
by 20% (from 1999) by 2010
• Reduce the health gap
• improve the health and healthcare
delivered to marginalised groups
Better Care
• Buy services that offer people choices are
safe and treat people with dignity & respect
• Improve patient satisfaction
• Improve lives of people with long term illness
• Ensure top quality community based
provision
• Commission high quality evidence based
treatment, particularly improving :
– mental health and dementia care
– End of life care
Better Value
• Make primary care provision more accessible
and focused on needs
• Make it easier for people that need urgent
care to access closest most suitable & timely
care for their needs
• Put an end to waiting lists as we know them
by by 2009 and make sure you can get care
close to home
• Deliver or surpass national targets
At the heart of it:
• Keep local people at the centre and work in
partnership to best meet needs
• Welcome views and use them as valuable
information to assess what needs to change
• Be accountable: tell you honestly & regularly
how we are performing
• Commission needs led, evidence based
clinically effective services to maximise health
gain
Do these commitments sound
like they are the right things?

important?
