People at the heart of our strategy
From the outset, we wanted to ensure this strategy was informed by the people it speaks for –local people and their communities, as well as our health and care workforce.
Key priority areas identified through community engagement include issues relating to digital inclusion, access to primary care and an erosion of trust in health services. Ensuring a focus on prevention, health inequalities and workforce emerged as key themes from stakeholder engagement. Full details of the engagement are included as an appendix to the strategy.
As we develop the Integrated Health and Care Delivery Plan, we will ensure we continue to engage and seek feedback and input in an aligned and connected way, local residents, stakeholders and all of those we have communicated with, engaged and involved throughout.
We will make sure this is coordinated with other engagement and involvement planned by local authorities, NHS organisations and others in the system.
