It is built on strong partnership working, already present in Somerset, and is underpinned by the Somerset Health and Social Needs Analysis data, which has been regularly updated since 1998 (latest publication HSNAG 2007). The scope of our JSNA provides a firm foundation for commissioning to improve health and social care services and reduce health inequalities. It enables stronger partnerships between communities, local government and the NHS. The document structure sets out a picture of Somerset that encompasses the county’s environmental attributes and challenges, the social context of our populations, our health status, how current needs are met, the ‘Voice’ of Somerset stakeholders and communities and where the health inequalities and gaps are to be found. By its very nature, the JSNA is not a static document; it will change and develop to adapt to the needs of Somerset people and be a crucial tool in ensuring the services we provide are based on sound evidence and are value for money. We would welcome any comments you make wish to make on its content. Signposts for how to do this are included toward the end of the document. Chapter 4 (‘Current Health Status’) highlights the current situation concerning children and young people, teenage pregnancy, sexual health, substance misuse, mental health, learning disabilities, obesity, smoking, diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke, cancer and older people. At the end of each of these sections is a summary and an identification of gaps. A separate ‘Health Inequalities’ section (Chapter 7) goes into more detail about these gaps and where further work could be undertaken. The JSNA is a large document; there have been over 45 contributors (many on behalf of multi-agency teams) bringing together their knowledge and expertise in specialist areas from Somerset County Council and Somerset Primary Care Trust. I would like to thank them all for the enthusiasm and rigour with which they approached the requirements of the JSNA. There is much to be proud of in the work undertaken to help Somerset people stay healthy, enjoy their lives, be supported and informed; and looked after across the health and social care sectors when needs require. We also think the Somerset JSNA is an interesting document in its own right. This has been an opportunity not just to look at how health and social care works together and to influence commissioning decisions but to share information with a host of organisations, communities and individuals who want to make a difference to the future of this vibrant and forward-looking county. Joint Director of Public Corporate Director Corporate Director for Health Community Children’s Services CHAPTER 1 - BACKGROUND The Department of Health’s Draft Commissioning Framework for Health and Wellbeing (March 2007) proposed to establish a duty on upper tier Local Authorities and Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to produce a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). The duty to undertake a JSNA was also described in Section 166 of the Local Government and Public Involvement Act (2007) and set out in the draft statutory guidance, Creating Strong, Safe and Prosperous Communities. The duty commenced on 1 April 2008. What is a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment1 (JSNA)? This is an ongoing process by which Somerset County Council and Somerset Primary Care Trust (SPCT) will describe the future health, care and wellbeing needs of our local population (over the short term – three to five years and long term - five to ten years) to inform the commissioning of services, the Local Area Agreement (LAA) and Sustainable Community Strategy. It will be delivered by collaborative partnership working, including the involvement of District Councils, Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs), patients, the public and voluntary sector. It will address evidence of effectiveness, identifying not only what works well, but highlight gaps in information where further work is required. This is why each JSNA will be unique; it will reflect local circumstances and what is really required to meet the needs of the Somerset population. How does the JSNA add value to existing needs assessment? The JSNA is a driver for change2. In creating an evidence base for the local populations of Somerset, it informs key levers for change in outcomes for health and wellbeing – public demand, partnership working, seamless provision and local commissioning. On one level, it is a tool, a methodology for strategic analysis of an area and an important one precisely because of its scope. On another, it captures the change of culture across health and social care. To do this, the JSNA needs to bring together diverse and often competing interests within both professional and public interest groups to shape local outcomes for health and wellbeing. JSNA and the commissioning cycle – how does it work? The Department of Health describes effective commissioning in terms of eight steps: 1. Putting people at the centre of commissioning 2. Understanding the needs of populations and individuals 3. Sharing and using information more effectively 4. Assuring high quality providers for all services 5. Recognising the interdependence of work, health and wellbeing 6. Developing incentives for commissioning for health and wellbeing 7. Making it happen: local accountability 8. Making it happen: capability and leadership 1 DoH JSNA Guidance document, February 2008 2 London CSIP Commissioning Learning Event 3 – 8th January 2008 1 CHAPTER 1 - BACKGROUND 3 The Local Government and Public Involvement Act (2007) places the duty of JSNA on upper-tier local authorities and PCTs. In practice, the Director of Public Health, Corporate Director - Community and the Director of Children’s Services jointly undertake the JSNA, working closely with Commissioning and Finance to help set strategic priorities and make evidence based investment. A jointly appointed Director of Public Health, as we have in Somerset, can facilitate the process by working across health and local government. For PCTs, the World Class Commissioning assurance model will ensure PCT Boards take an active interest in the JSNA and that it is used and understood at senior governance level. Our approach to developing the JSNA for Somerset A steering group was established to drive the development of the JSNA. The group is made up of the Joint Director of Public Health, the Corporate Director – Community, Director of Children’s Services, Head of Environment and Regeneration for Somerset County Council and commissioners from the PCT, the Director of Primary Care Development and Director of Secondary Care Development. There is representation from the PCT Professional Executive Committee and a finance representative, as appropriate. 3 JSNA presentation – Renu Bindra (Public Health Development) DoH 2 CHAPTER 1 - BACKGROUND The function of the JSNA steering group is to: agree and finalise the JSNA process and timeframe ensure involvement of key stakeholders in the JSNA working group and subgroups provide strategic support and advice ensure partner and public views are considered within the ongoing JSNA process agree content of the final document identify, highlight and explore key local health inequalities make recommendations through the JSNA and the Health and Wellbeing Group with regard to changes in commissioning and delivery of children’s and adult services A technical working group was established to progress the data collation needed to support the written evidence in the JSNA and provide supplementary local level information to the core data set. At the first meeting of the JSNA steering group a commissioner commented, “I welcome the JSNA, it will drive the health agenda and take commissioning further on. It will encourage joined-up working, tackling inequalities and improving the delivery of services”.

This long hot summer seems to go on and on. While we all enjoy the warmth and sunshine, our gardens are suffering. The butterflies seem to enjoy the weather though, and there are plenty to be seen if you are out walking on the Common - in particular the lovely orange and black Silver- washed fritillaries which can be found along the rides and woodland edges. There are some familiar butterflies to colour for our Young Buddies. The ponies are seeking out shade during the heat of the day, but flies and ticks are making their presence felt. If you are an outdoors person, then the National Plant Monitoring Survey offers a chance be of help in conservation efforts. For the Green Fingered among you we offer some exotic cacti, and for the cooks the Seasonal Treat is a deliciously different lemon drizzle cake. Summer is also the time for Barbecues and Garden Parties - check out What’s On and the Church Pages for details.

Published September 1995 The NRA and the Environment Agency The National Rivers Authority will form the major part of a new organisation which will have responsibilities for the environmental protection of water, land and air. The new Environment Agency starts its work of managing the environment in England and Wales on April 1 1996. SUt~ ^ r C S FOREWORD------- This Catchment Management Plan Consultation Report covers the River Tone and all its tributaries. These drain to it from Exmoor and the Quantock Hills in the west and north and from the Blackdown Hills in the south and east. The report also includes the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. This report describes the physical features and factors such as geology and climate for the catchment. In particular, we set out the NRA’s vision for the catchment. We describe: • the activities in the catchment which affect the water environment and the uses made of water; • the NRA’s objectives and targets for the water environment, described under four headings - water quality, water quantity, physical features and flood defence; • the state of the catchment in relation to the four categories of objectives. From this comparison we identify issues which need to be addressed by the NRA and others.

  • Taunton Green Green Wedge Assessment 2015
    Taunton Deane Green Wedge Assessment June 2015 Introduction Green Wedges have been protected through policy in Taunton Deane since the East Taunton local Plan publication of 1991. The policy wording has changed little during that time. Currently the policy states that: Key policy objectives of Green Wedges are to: • Prevent the coalescence of settlements and maintain a sense of place and identity for neighborhoods; • Maintain the open character of a green lung contributing to health and wellbeing for residents; • Bring the countryside into the heart of town; • Provide accessible formal and informal recreation, sport and play; • Provide valuable wildlife corridors and habitat; • Protect areas of landscape importance and visual amenity; and • Provide a positive approach to land use. However during that time there have been a number of appeals and Local Plan Inquiries that have directly challenged the Council’s approach and designation. Aware of that the Council’s Strategic Planning, Transportation and Economic Development Review Panel of 16th November 2006 resolved that: a) Green Wedges be considered as integrated environmental and social resources (and their Local Designation status should be retained). This would ensure protection was afforded to the wide range of attributes that contributed to, and made up, the open spaces. b) An assessment be undertaken of existing Green Wedge boundaries and a consistent approach be applied to justify definitive lines that would withstand public inquiry scrutiny. c) The individual function of Green Wedge areas within the Taunton Deane Local Plan be identified and stated and that the appropriate policy be separated in two:- i Rural buffers and strategic gaps; and ii Green wedges.

  • A Survey of the Use of Traditional Building Stones in West and South Somerset
    A SURVEY OF THE USE OF TRADITIONAL BUILDING STONES IN WEST AND SOUTH SOMERSET A Report for the South West Heritage Trust by G. J. Dawson and P. Wright Edition 1.1 A SURVEY OF THE USE OF TRADITIONAL BUILDING STONES IN WEST AND SOUTH SOMERSET G. J. Dawson and P. Wright Purpose of the Survey This survey is being carried out by two volunteers for the South West Heritage Trust. It is being undertaken to assist the Trust, and others, with preserving the local character, appearance and distinctiveness of towns and villages in Somerset. Surveys have been completed of Taunton Deane and the Quantock Hills eastwards to the River Parrett. The survey is ongoing and new appendices will be added to this report as surveys of other areas are completed. Current activity is focused on the area of South Somerset west of Yeovil. Survey Method The principal data collected during the survey are of the different types of stone used in the external walls and dressings of buildings and in boundary walls. Blocks of cut stone used at the corners of buildings (quoins) are recorded as part of the external walls. All other stonework, including stonework surrounding openings for windows and doors, are recorded as dressings. At the request of the Trust, data are also collected on the use of other materials for the walls of buildings, such as brick, render and cob, and for roof coverings, such slates, stone and clay tiles, thatch, corrugated iron and asbestos and steel sheeting. Surveys are carried out on a parish by parish basis within the boundaries of each settlement.
