A low priority? How local health and care plans overlook the needs of dying people Appendices Appendix A To the Freedom of Information Officer, Health and Wellbeing Boards, England By email Date: Monday 1 February 2016 Subject: Freedom of Information request Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information about your authority s health and wellbeing board (HWB): Does your HWB currently have a nominated lead for palliative and/or end of life care for i) adults and/or ii) children? Does your HWB have a joint strategic needs assessment (JSA) either planned or completed for 2016/17? If your HWB does have a JSA either planned or completed for 2016/17, does it include a section on palliative and/or end of life needs? Does your HWB s joint health and wellbeing strategy (JHWS) specifically include people with terminal and/or life-limiting conditions or palliative and/or end of life care services? I would be grateful if you could provide this information by return email to s.mccauley@hospiceuk.org. Please do contact me if you want any clarification on the information I am requesting. I look forward to your within 20 working days, as set out by the Act. Kind regards, Mr Stephen McCauley Hospice UK Company Limited by Guarantee, Registered in England and Wales o. 2751549, Charity registered in England and Wales o. 1014851 and in Scotland o. SC041112. VAT o. 731 304476.
ote We asked HWBs a question on whether they had a nominated lead for palliative or end of life care. We decided not to include this in the report as many HWBs stated that they did not work in this way; either they did not have nominated leads for any health or social care issue, or they had delegated this responsibility to the level. We also asked a question on whether HWBs had a joint strategic needs assessment (JSA) planned or completed for 2016/17. Again, many HWBs replied that they did not work in this way. In some areas, needs assessments are completed on an ongoing basis and remain a live document, rather than as a single document that is completed or updated annually.
