Health Social Care and Well Being Needs Assessment

The National Public Health Service carried out a Needs Assessment early in 2007 on the health of Torfaen. It looks at geographic information, population data, housing, poverty, education, employment, health and other data and provides a huge amount of information on the difficulties facing Torfaen as a whole and the communities within the County Borough. It is split into sections for ease of topic and access.
