Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)

Cheshire East's Joint Strategic Needs Assessment is a shared statement on the health and social care needs of people living in Cheshire East which the Council and Primary Care Trust have a legal duty to undertake, and use to develop and improve services.

The Joint Needs Assessment pulls together a range of needs assessment and qualitative and quantitative data within a more joined up framework for commissioners to utilise to develop and improve services. It is also a source of information for the local community and Third Sector organisations to find out more about health and social care.

The information was refreshed in Autumn 2011 and the new JSNA  can be found in DORIC.
