The
overall purpose of the Board is to bring together key partners from
the NHS, Public health and Local Government, including Healthwatch
as the patient’s voice to jointly plan how best to meet local
health and care needs.
The
Board’s three principal statutory duties are:
·
To assess the needs of the local population through
a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA).
·
To set out how these needs will be addressed through
a Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JLHWBS) that offers a
strategic framework in which Integrated Care Boards, Local NHS
Place Boards, Local Authorities and NHS England can make their
commissioning decisions.
·
To promote greater integration and partnership,
including joint commissioning, integrated provision and pooled
budgets.
The
Board will:
·
Agree the strategic health and wellbeing priorities
for the city, as a board and with the Humber and North Yorkshire
Health and Care Partnership, respecting the fact this group covers
a wider geographic area.
·
Make a positive difference, improving outcomes for
all our communities and those who use our services.
·
Lead on the production of a Joint Health and
Wellbeing Strategy and a Pharmaceutical Needs
Assessment.
The
Board will not:
·
Manage work programmes or oversee specific pieces of
work.
·
Focus on the delivery of specific health and
wellbeingservices.
·
Scrutinise the detailed performance of
services.
·
Take responsibility for the outputs and outcomes of
specific services.
·
Be the main vehicle for the patient
voice as this is the responsibility of
Healthwatch.
