Joint Strategic Needs Assessment
A Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) has been developed to help ensure that strategic planning by East Lothian Integration Joint Board (IJB) is based on understanding of current and predicted population needs.

The JSNA includes sections on:
- Understanding our Population
