Over the coming years health and social services in North Lincolnshire will face considerable challenges. The needs of our population are changing and expectations are increasing.
In order to meet these needs and expectations the council and the North Lincolnshire Primary Care Trust (PCT) must identify key priorites that will provide the right services for our growing population.
The two organisations have produced a 'Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)'. This profiles the health and social care needs of the local population.
It presents:
- A joint analysis of current and predicted health and well-being
- An account of what people want from services
- A view of the future, predicting and anticipating potential new and unmet need.
The first edition focuses on older people. This is because North Lincolnshire has an above-average proportion of older people. Later editions will cover children and young people's issues.
