Strategic Needs Assessment

The Strategic Needs Assessment for Adult Health and Social Care is a collection of evidence from a wide range of sources, brought together to help inform the Dumfries and Galloway Integration Joint Board’s Strategic Commissioning Plan. The evidence includes statistics and quotes from people who have been consulted about aspects of health and social care.

In line with the health and social care strategic cycle, the needs assessment is updated once every 3 years. Below is the link to the summary of the Strategic Needs Assessment Third Edition summary. The full report will be published in 2023.
