Issue - meetings

The Board received a presentation on the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) from the Insight Manager, Telford & Wrekin Council. The presentation provided a brief overview of key statistics and insights that were available via the Telford & Wrekin Insight webpage. There had been an update to this as new census data had been released. Further data from the 2021 census was due in late 2023.

Following the update, members of the Board praised the utility of the Insight webpage, noting the importance of data in policy. Members also noted that the data highlighted some concerning trends, such as high mortality for those with Serious Mental Illness, and that these issues needed to be investigated in more detail.

Members of the Board noted the update.
