Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)

Adult Services - March 2008
phil.longworth@kirklees.gov.uk

Introduction

The directors of adult social services, public health and children and young people's services in every local authority and Primary Care Trust (PCT) have a statutory duty from April 2008 to work together to develop a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) for their district.

The JSNA must pull together a wide range of information about the current and future health and well-being needs of the local population. It provides an opportunity to look to the future - over the next 5, 10, 15 and 20 years - so that we can plan now for likely changes in needs. So it is one of the major influences in directing our commissioning priorities and planning service development.
