Understanding health needs in South Tyneside
The board uses data from a range of places to understand the needs of the local area.
See the latest data on the needs of children and young people with SEND in South Tyneside.
This information is used to help the South Tyneside Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and the Council to understand what services are needed, and what services need to be changed.
