What does the Hull Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) Tell Us?
Hull is one of the most deprived Cities in the Country. The Index of Multiple Deprivation identifies the City as 10th most deprived local authority in the Country (out of 326!).
If we look at other cities, we usually see that deprivation is strongly associated with worse health and this is true in Hull too.
Life expectancy is lower in Hull than in many other parts of England and there is a life expectancy gap of up to 10 years within the City between the least and most deprived electoral wards.
Hull has high levels of smoking, overweight and drinking
The city also has high levels of cancers, heart disease and diabetes
The JSNA tells us a lot more detail about the problems of health in Hull

What Priorities have we developed with this knowledge?
NHS Hull, in partnership with Hull City Council and local health care providers developed a set of priorities from the JSNA and other local knowledge. We were keen to ensure that the JSNA was deeply embedded in policy within the Council, the Hospitals, Doctors and other parts of the NHS.
The Core Commissioning Plan 2010 - 2014
The core areas are: -
The JSNA was interpreted by the Public Health Science Team to provide a separate Health Needs Analysis for each of these key areas.
What have we done with this knowledge?
The PCT used this information to developed core commissioning plans for the years 2009 to 2014 for each of the core areas mentioned above. Each commissioning plan introduced far reaching and ambitious plans, in order to make an impact on health in the City.
Our Core Commissioning Strategy is now operational, it is assessed yearly, and the improvements to what is provided in health care in the City continue. Each annual update of the JSNA gives an opportunity to check whether we want to amend our priorities and also to measure how well we are doing.
What will happen in the Future?
The core commissioning plan is now being used as the basis of health care provision for the developing Clinical Commissioning Organisation which will take over the role of the PCT when it closes in April 2013.
