"Joint strategic needs assessment by councils, PCTs and practice based commissioners will help them to better understand the needs of individuals, by using recognised assessment and care planning processes appropriately, and mitigating risks to the health and well-being of individuals."
Commissioning framework for health and well-being, Department of Health, March 2007
This is the first Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) for Nottinghamshire to be published and we believe it represents a good start to the process. The document has been produced in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council, Notts County Teaching Primary Care Trust (PCT), East Midlands Public Health Observatory and Networking Action with Voluntary Organisations (NAVO). The information contained in this document has already informed a number of the priorities and targets adopted by the Nottinghamshire Partnership within the Local Area Agreement.
The JSNA pulls together a range of information in the same place for the first time. Throughout the document, summary boxes highlight some of the key messages arising from the information.
