On April 2008, the new statutory duty on local authorities and primary care trusts (PCTs) to work together with their local partners to produce a joint strategic needs assessment (JSNA) came into effect. The purpose of these JSNAs is to identify the unmet health and well‐being needs and inequalities of the whole local population, and to provide a sufficiently broad joint evidence base for a locality. This enables increased joint working and co‐operation among all partners leading to improved outcomes for that population. For the first time, commissioners have the opportunity to create a ‘level playing field’ for identifying unmet mental and physical health needs within the same assessment process. This paper lays out why the structure and policy framework underpinning JSNA may offer a stronger prospect of successful implementation than its predecessors. It uses the findings of a quality assurance audit of JSNAs conducted in the east of England as a real‐world reference point.

The way of thought and vision and memory is that they often come upon you unexpectedly, presenting nothing new but usually with a clarity and emphasis that it all seems new. This will sometimes happen after a long period of indecision or when things are extremely difficult, as they have long been for the country, in most homes and among ordinary individuals. Watching one's life savings dwindle away, the nest‐egg laid down for security in an uncertain world, is a frightening process. This has happened to the nation, once the richest in the world, and ot its elderly people, most of them taught the habit of saving in early youth. We are also taught that what has been is past changing; the clock cannot be put back, and the largesse—much of it going to unprincipled spongers—distributed by a spendthrift Government as token relief is no answer, not even to present difficulties. The response can only come by a change of heart in those whose brutal selfishness have caused it all; and this may be a long time in coming. In the meantime, it is a useful exercise to consider our assets, to recognize those which must be protected at all costs and upon which, when sanity returns, the future depends.
