LOCAL AREA NEEDS ASSESSMENT Planning for future health needs

Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Services (CHHHS) is continuing work on a local area needs assessment (LANA) in partnership with the community, health professionals and service providers.

A local area needs assessment is a method of identifying unmet health and healthcare needs of a population and determining if changes are required to meet those unmet needs. 

CCRC Councillors recently participated in a workshop presentation and discussion of LANA findings. 

LANA findings will help to determine the community’s health priorities, how to better use resources, and plan programs or activities that support people’s health needs. 

Council’s recent community scorecard results highlight the community consider health and community services one of the top priorities for our region.
