Local Authorities Commissioning for Public Health
The transfer of public health from the NHS to local government and Public Health England (PHE) is one of the most significant
extensions of local government powers and duties in a generation.
Local authorities are now responsible for public health commissioning and have appointed new Directors of Public Health
(DPH). Local authorities are also responsible for providing some public health services in conjunction with Public Health
England. Overall local authorities now have a much greater role shaping services.
Regional Directors of Public Health
The most fundamental duties of a directors of public health (DPH) are set out in law and. How those statutory functions
translate into everyday practice depends on a range of factors that are shaped by local needs and priorities from area to area
and over time.
A number of the DPH’s specific responsibilities and duties arise directly from Acts of Parliament - mainly the NHS Act 2006 and
the Health and Social Care Act 2012 - and related regulations. Some of these duties are closely defined but most allow for
local discretion in how they are delivered.

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)
Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is a collection of information that aims to identify the health and wellbeing needs of
the local population on each local authority area.
The JSNA is expected to:
Describe the future health and wellbeing of its population.
Better support the needs of local communities by identifying and encouraging interventions at earlier stages to more
effectively target the causes of health problems.
Help understand the needs of the whole population.
Consider and understand the wider determinants of health.
Health & Wellbeing Boards use the JSNA to develop the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and set commissioning priorities

Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy
Each Health and Wellbeing Board will be required to draw up a joint and high level Health and Wellbeing Strategy, informed by
the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment. It will set the overall strategic direction for Health and Wellbeing.
Health and Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committees
Each relevant council has a health overview and scrutiny committee dedicated to scrutinising local NHS policy, planning, and
impact against local needs and inequalities. This committee is made up of councillors (and in two-tier areas often includes
district/borough members as well as county councillors) and thereby has democratic legitimacy. It may also include co-opted
members. Cabinet members are not eligible to sit on the health overview and scrutiny committee or any other scrutiny
committee. The meetings are open to the press and public in the same way as any council meeting.
The primary aim of health scrutiny is to act as a lever to improve the health of local people, ensuring their needs are
considered as an integral part of the commissioning, delivery and development of health services.
