Brent’s internal data and specialist data such as WSIC will highlight inequalities. It will also help to inform commissioning and offer strategic direction for services, all of which will benefit patients.

The WSIC platform is required in order to help inform and develop Brent’s Children and Young People (CYP) JSNA. A JSNA provides local policy-makers and commissioners with a profile of the health and wellbeing needs of the Brent population. The aim of the JSNA is to improve commissioning and reduce health inequalities by identifying current and future health trends within the local population. Brent Council aim to develop a data driven JSNA that takes into account demographic data; social economic and environmental determinants of health; behavioural determinants of health; epidemiology and access to services. The objective is to use publically available data, internal Brent data and specialist data such as WSIC to build an accurate, valid and robust JSNA. The publically available data (external data) provides broad Brent numbers against other LAs. The internal Brent data allows for a more detailed analysis in terms of demographics, deprivation and correlations, highlighting possible inequalities and causal factors and is the latest data. The specialist data such as WSIC, offers insight into salient public health and social care data and will also help to identify and understand causal factors. This detailed understanding is required in order to be able to address any inequalities identified.
