5. When is your JSNA due to be refreshed?

Different aspects are refreshed annually. We are not conducting a major refresh in 2014/15 although will update some specific sections.

6. Do you have a current Health and Wellbeing strategy?

We do have a JHWS

7. If yes, when is this due to be refreshed?

Please provide a copy or send a link to your current Health and Wellbeing strategy

We haven’t formally set a date to refresh the JHWS. Our approach is to regularly review progress against the action plans for each JHWS priority with the aim of removing issues from the priority list once we are confident that significant progress has been made and/or there’s another strategic body which is well placed to take the issue on. We’re therefore constantly refreshing our thinking – although we’d also consider undertaking a major refresh should there be significant progress against a number of the priorities, or when we feel we’re at a point where there’s significant new material to inform prioritisation.

Here’s a link to the JHWS:
