In 2020, just before the first COVID-19 pandemic, West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership published a five-year plan, 'Better health and wellbeing for everyone’.

Joint Forward Plan - your viewsAs a result of the passing of the Health and Care Act 2022, there is a requirement for each integrated care partnership (which we call our ‘Partnership Board’) to produce an Integrated Care Strategy to set the direction for health and care services across the whole Integrated Care System (we are known as West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership), including how commissioners in the NHS and local authorities can deliver more joined-up, preventative, and person-centred care for people and communities. As a result of this requirement, we have been refreshing our 2020 five-year strategy to ensure that it reflects the needs of the 2.4 million people living within the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership area. This refreshed strategy, the 'West Yorkshire Integrated Care Strategy', will be published in Spring 2023.

The delivery of the NHS elements of the West Yorkshire Integrated Care Strategy will be accountable to the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) via its Joint Forward Plan. This Joint Forward Plan will also include the requirements of the refreshed national NHS Long Term Plan (not yet published) and the Fuller Stocktake.

Our five place-based partnerships, which bring together place-based integrated care board teams, local authorities and the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE), are vital and will continue to lead most of this work through local plans. The five placed-based partnerships are:

  • Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership
  • Calderdale Cares Partnership
  • Kirklees Health and Care Partnership
  • Leeds Health and Care Partnership
  • Wakefield District Health & Care Partnership

The West Yorkshire Integrated Care Strategy

Joint Forward Plan - your viewsOur Integrated Care Strategy will be owned by the Partnership Board; a draft will be submitted to NHS England. We aim to publish the strategy in March 2023. The strategy is built from local place-based health and wellbeing strategies, which are informed by local Joint Strategic Needs Assessments. The refresh process involves partners, stakeholders and communities and will utilise local data and insights.   

In our 2020 five-year strategy, we included our ‘10 big ambitions’ and conversations in 2022 have reflected that these ambitions are still relevant. Work has been done to further develop the ambitions and strategy to ensure it is representative of the needs of people and communities. We have seen that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on services due to unprecedented demand and has highlighted the inequities experienced across communities in West Yorkshire, further exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis. Therefore, 20% of the work has focused on refreshing the content of the 2020 plan. 80% of the work has focused on ‘how’ this will be delivered, through developing a delivery and improvement framework which supports delivery of the West Yorkshire Joint Forward Plan to achieve the ambitions set out in the 2020 plan. You can see who we have engaged with to develop the refreshed five-year strategy here.

The West Yorkshire Joint Forward Plan

The Joint Forward Plan is owned by the Integrated Care Board and will set out the delivery of the NHS elements of the West Yorkshire Integrated Care Strategy. Our Partnership's current thinking is that the draft strategy will be submitted to NHS England in February 2023, and the plan will be published on 30 June 2023.

We have and will continue to share our plans with each relevant health and wellbeing board, to take proper account of Local Health and Wellbeing Strategies

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) and its partner NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts have a duty to consult with the group of people for whom the ICB has core responsibility and any other persons they consider appropriate. Local engagement leads will link with their local Trusts regarding how best they will consult within the timelines.
