The national and local strategy and policy context for health and social care is increasingly complex and continues to evolve, not least as a result of COVID-19 and the impact that this has had on the way in which services are accessed and delivered. National legislation and policy, aligned with local frameworks and strategies, exist to provide guidance to Partnerships.
As a result, our Plan will not be delivered in isolation, but needs to reflect, interact with, and support the delivery of each of these policies and strategies. We provide an indicative, but not exhaustive, view of related plans and strategies below, and provide further details on the 9 national health and wellbeing outcomes on the following page.
