Joint strategic needs assessment

This Joint Strategic Needs and Assets Assessment (JSNA) sets out current and future strategic health and care needs in Staffordshire to inform and guide strategy, commissioning and decision-making. It provides a strategic assessment of the population’s needs through a shared evidence base.
