Joint Strategic Needs Assessment

Health and Wellbeing facts and figures

The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) shares information about Oxfordshire's population and the factors affecting health, wellbeing, and social care needs.

The report has been split into various sections providing an evidence-base for the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and related service plans and is an opportunity for an annual discussion about the key issues and trends affecting Oxfordshire.

Producing the JSNA is a collaborative project with contributions from many analysts and sector specialists from Oxfordshire's Local Authorities, NHS, Thames Valley Police, Healthwatch Oxfordshire and Voluntary Sector organisations.

Introduction and Summary
