The Plan for the Future is based upon the idea of delivering both changes to the population’s health through ‘enabling wellness’ whilst still being in a position to provide timely and high-quality services which respond to illness.
These two components (enabling wellness and responding to illness) need to be delivered in balance.
We need to play a role in enabling the wellness of the population and support the prevention of disease, thus reducing the volume of ill health and demand on services. However, even with the best prevention available, people will still become unwell and need treatment so, when diagnosis and treatment for ill health are required, we wish to provide these as quickly as possible and to the highest of standards.
The Plan for the Future is organised under three headings of People, Places and Pathways with nine priorities underneath. The links below will give more detail on each.
