5 year plan - chapter 1 - introductionAbout our Partnership

piggy bankWest Yorkshire and Harrogate is the third largest health and care partnership in the country. 2.7 million people live here. We have strong, diverse and vibrant communities. Collectively, we have a health and care budget of over £5.5bn.

What is an Integrated Care System? 

West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership is also known as an ‘Integrated Care System’. An Integrated Care System is given flexibility and freedoms from government in return for taking responsibility for the delivery of high quality local services. Throughout this Plan we will refer to ourselves as the Partnership because we believe this describes what we do more clearly.

We work together to improve the health and wellbeing of local people living in our six local places:

  • Bradford district and Craven
  • West Yorkshire and Harrogate places - boundary map iconCalderdale
  • Harrogate
  • Kirklees
  • Leeds
  • Wakefield

Partners

The Partnership is made up of many organisations including the NHS, councils, Healthwatch, charities and voluntary and community organisations who work to provide the best health and care possible to the 2.7million people living across our area. This support is delivered by committed, dedicated staff, unpaid carers and volunteers.

It includes a health and social care workforce of well over 100,000 people and the value that community networks and local support bring to help keep people well and feeling connected.

Throughout this Plan we refer to voluntary and community organisations. It’s important to note that we work with charities, social enterprises, the faith sector, community benefit societies and many other community partners. We also work with hundreds of other
organisations, including the Police, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, and independent care providers.

The Partnership is not the boss of the partners, it is their servant. This is crucial, as it allows power and energy to remain aligned to statutory accountabilities in our places. The reality is that without our local partners working together, including housing, public health, education, and community organisations, none of us would be able to tackle any issues alone. We have agreed to work at a West Yorkshire and Harrogate level on the following priority areas of work:

Improving population health Transforming services Priority areas for improving outcomes
  • Preventing ill-health
  • Health inequalities
  • Determinants for healthy lives
  • Personalised care
  • Primary and community care
  • Urgent and emergency care
  • Improving planned care and reducing variation
  • Hospitals working together
  • Cancer
  • Mental health learning disabilities and autism
  • Children and families

  • Harnessing the power of communities
