Health, Social Care & Well being Strategies are the key delivery mechanism for bringing about sustainable health improvement in our communities. The Health & Well being team has and continues to support the development and effective implementation of these strategies at a local level.
Health, Social Care and Wellbeing Strategies
The 22 local Health, Social Care & Well-Being Strategies cover a range of activities from preventative action to improve health and reduce the risk of ill health, through to care services provided by each Council, the National Health Service, and the voluntary and private sector agencies. They have all been based on local needs and provide local partnership solutions, but in a national context.
The first Strategies will operate between the 1 April 2005 and 31 March 2008. All include at least half a dozen underpinning values/principles indicating a useful progression from the initial Procedures for Co-operation and in some cases a noticeable maturing of the partnership structures that constructed the strategy. Increasing engagement with communities and improving access to modernised/optimised services are the most frequently mentioned of these principles.
The Health, Social Care & Wellbeing Strategies for the local partnerships are shown below.
