The new Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) website provides a detailed and objective analysis of local, current and future health, care and wellbeing needs for adults and children.

This website provides a central JSNA resource. On our new website you will find information and resources from local and national sources that provide an assessment of the needs of the population of East Sussex.

-
Overview reports such as the latest 2011 Needs Profiles that identify health needs and issues for an area.
