Public Health Annual Report 2008
This Public Health Annual Report has been produced jointly by the public health team of NHS Manchester and the Joint Health Unit based at Manchester City Council.
It complements the recent publication of the Manchester Joint Strategic Needs Assessment
(JSNA), which describes in detail the future health, care and well being needs of the Manchester population.
The Annual Report does not repeat the analysis contained in the JSNA, which can be accessed at
www.manchester.gov.uk/jsna. Instead it focuses on describing our approach to tackling health inequalities in Manchester, building on the recommendations contained in the 2007 Public Health Annual Report.
