I thought the list would be interested to hear about a major new health needs assessment which is
available on the Internet but is yet in press:
http://hcna.radcliffe-online.com/bemgframe.htm

There is also a step-by-step guide
on health needs assessment:
http://www.doh.gov.uk/minorityhealth/docs/step_by_step.doc

this may require a little fiddling e.g. to switch off the track changes
facility on word (the web site managers have not set up the document quite
right)

The third site which will interest members of this group contains the draft
strategic action plan of the Lothian health board

http://www.lothianhealth.scot.nhs.uk/publications/ethnic_health/index.html

This builds up on the Scottish fair for all guidance, which is on the Scottish executive web site
