HSCNA is a systematic method for reviewing the health issues facing a population, leading to agreed priorities and resource allocation that will improve health and reduce inequalities (NICE, 2005). HSCNAs play an important part in guiding an organisation in effectively balancing their efforts in achieving the goals and objectives specific to their strategic direction alongside the government policy and direction of the time. The EHIA will assess the equality of healthcare service delivery within a secure estate and identify which groups are disadvantaged as well providing actions to improve service delivery for those groups. This process is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
