In preparation for the next update of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), the Manchester Health and Wellbeing Board would like your help to understand what effect different issues have on the communities and people of Manchester. They are inviting local people, groups and organisations to send in any information they have about how the needs of people are being - or not being - met by existing services.
David Regan, Director of Public Health in Manchester said, “For the first half of this year, the Health and Wellbeing Board has decided to consider six topics in detail: long term conditions; alcohol/liver disease; early detection and prevention of cancer; early help for children and young people; dementia and tuberculosis (TB). We will be looking at other topics later on in 2013.”
To provide information for consideration as part of the JSNA complete the form attached.
Other types of evidence, such as written submissions, existing reports and statistics, survey responses or individual testimonies etc will also be accepted.
Evidence should be emailed to: [email protected] or posted to: Public Health Manchester, Manchester City Council, P.O. Box 532, Town Hall, Manchester, M60 2LA by Friday 7th June 2013.
If you need advice on what to submit, or would like more details on the JSNA process in Manchester, contact Neil Bendel, on 0161 234 4089, or email: [email protected]
