Kingston Partnership Board
Kingston Council is re-establishing its Health and Wellbeing Board, which the Kingston Partnership Board previously served as, and planning a new Joint Strategic Needs Assessment.
Kingston Council's Corporate and Resources Committee decided in June 2026 to re-establish a dedicated Health and Wellbeing Board. This move aims to enhance the council's public health duties and improve collaboration with partners, responding to changes within the National Health Service. The re-establishment is intended to more effectively fulfil the duty to improve local residents' health.
The Kingston Partnership Board, which also served as the Kingston Health and Wellbeing Board, discussed forming a new Steering Group for a 2026/27 Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) in February 2026. This assessment is designed to identify and address the evolving health and social care needs of the local population and is vital for guiding a forthcoming Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
