[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST JKWaR0xh. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Needs assessment has become one of the cornerstones for commissioning health care in the UK but, as yet, no agreed methodological framework exists. This study attempts to build on a number of different approaches used in needs assessment in order to formulate a more complex and integrated model. We have taken limiting long-term illness (LLI) as a starting point and examined its prevalence within the primary care setting in an area of North Staffordshirc. This was Followed by the application of a health status measure on two sub-samples (those reporting LLI and those not reporting LLI). The diagnostic assessments of the GP was placed alongside the results of the health status measure in order to compare self-assessment with the professional perspective. Finally, in-depth interviews with people with LLI were carried out examining their own experience of ill-hcalth. We argue that this detailed and complex needs assessment allows for a more targeted approach to commissioning and service development.
