Public and patient guide to the NJR Annual Report

The NJR produces a Public and Patient Guide to its Annual Report every year and the edition to support the 11th NJR Annual Report. Please find below the current editions of the guides and a short summary of the 2013 key facts in the form of posters/information fact sheets. They are all designed with patients for patients and we encourage their use in patient consultations and to be made available in patient waiting areas.
