The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) considers a wide range of factors that affect the health and wellbeing of the people of Warrington. The objective of the JSNA is to involve partner organisations, such as the local NHS, local authorities, police, fire service and third sector organisations in order to provide a top level, holistic view of current and future need within the borough. The JSNA is used to agree key priorities to improve the health and wellbeing of all our communities, at the same time as reducing health inequalities.
Findings from the 2011/12 JSNA were used to inform the Warrington Wellbeing Strategy which was produced by the shadow Health and Wellbeing Board, and the Local Strategic Partnership.
