We are developing our plans around how we will engage and consult with people and how it will work across the future planning process and the role of the Health and Wellbeing Boards.
There are Health and Wellbeing Boards in Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, North Yorkshire County Council and Wakefield.
Health and Wellbeing Boards are made up of key leaders from the health and care system. They work together to improve the health and wellbeing of their local population and reduce health inequalities. Members work together to understand the needs of local people, agree priorities and encourage organisations who provide care to work in a more joined-up way.
The six local plans vary, there is a great deal of diversity across our area, but at their heart they have the same common themes. Three of the priority themes identified in the West Yorkshire and Harrogate draft plan proposals run deep through all six of our local delivery plans. Prevention, supported self-care, primary and community care services - all of which are better delivered at a local level.
