Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)

The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 requires PCTs and local authorities to produce a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA).

The JSNA should fulfil the need identified in Our health, our care, our say for Directors of Public Health, Adult Social Services and Children’s Services to undertake regular strategic needs assessments of the health and wellbeing status of their populations. The JSNA should inform the priorities and targets set by Local Area Agreements and lead to agreed commissioning priorities that will improve outcomes and reduce health inequalities.

The new JSNA was published on 1st April 2009 - please see below for links to the individual documents.
