Leeds City Council and NHS Leeds have a statutory duty to produce a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) that identifies the currently unmet and future health, social care and wellbeing needs of the local population.
The legislation intends that the JSNA will inform the plans, targets, priorities and actions necessary in reducing identified inequalities and achieving the desired health and wellbeing outcomes for Leeds.
Core to JSNA is a data pack that provides a comprehensive profile of Leeds across a number of areas crucial to the health and wellbieng of the population:
- Demography
- Socio-economic and environmental factors
- Lifestyle (particularly 'healthy living') issues
- Ill health
- Health and Social care service provision
The datapack of the Leeds JSNA is available to download on the right of this page. Please Note this is a large data pack and may take a while to download.
To complement the analysis we have drawn upon a richness of 'softer' information provided by the public, patients, service users and carers.
Also available to download on the right of this page is the 'Implementing the JSNA - Framework 2009' and the 'Mental Health Needs Assessment 2011'.
The JSNA is currently being refreshed and will be launched in the new year on a 'Leeds Observatory' website. For more information contact lucy.jackson@nhsleeds.nhs.uk
