JSNA Archive
2007/08 - To inform the production of the Devon Adult & Community Services and NHS Devon Joint Strategic Review, "The Way Ahead", in summer 2007 we gathered information, made a detailed assessment of people’s needs and profiled the use of health and social care within our Devon Towns and rural hinterland areas. This analysis formed the first Joint Strategic Needs Assessment in Devon, and these 2007/08 JSNA Locality and Devon Town profiles, can still be viewed by following this link.
