What additional needs assessment is required?
This section provides detail on any issues or gaps that need addressing to complete this JSNA topic effectively if any exist.
Data Gaps and Surveillance
- Injury types with suppressed or missing data (e.g. inhalation injuries, burns from hot fluids) limit the ability to fully understand local risk patterns.
- Granular data by ward or neighbourhood is needed to target interventions more precisely.
- Real-time injury surveillance could improve responsiveness and resource allocation.
