<p>Health and Wellbeing Boards in England bring into one forum representatives from
health, social services and the local community to decide what the main public health
needs of the local population are, and to determine how best to meet them in an integrated
and holistic manner. Health and Wellbeing Boards are required to produce Joint Strategic
Needs Assessment (JSNA) for their area. Based on the needs identified the Board produces
a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWS). Both the JSNA and JHWS must be taken
into account by local authorities, clinical commissioning groups and NHS England when
preparing or revising commissioning.</p><p>We believe that local leaders are best
placed to make decisions as to the need of the population they serve, including for
children and young people’s wellbeing. Places such as Greater Manchester Combined
Authority have produced a dedicated Children and Young People Health and Wellbeing
Framework for 2018-2022.</p><p>As health is a devolved matter in Wales, it would therefore
be the responsibility of the Welsh Government to decide how to monitor children’s
wellbeing.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
