Wandworth Local Health and Care Plan - October 2019

3 Wandsworth is a vibrant and thriving community and we want people to remain as healthy as they can for as long as they can. The Wandsworth Health and Care Plan has been collaboratively developed involving partners, providers, voluntary sector and residents – ensuring local voices are a direct contribution. Our vision for the delivery of health and care fits into three themes ‘Start Well, Live Well, Age Well’. These, along with the need to join up care and embed a preventative approach covers the whole life cycle of the borough’s population. The Health and Care Plan will initially cover a two-year time frame between 2019-2021 and focus on actions which no single organisation can deliver on its own. By working together, health, social care and the voluntary sector can deliver quality health and care services that support our residents. This plan should be read in alignment with other, existing health and care strategies. We understand the health and care needs of the borough, in part through the Wandsworth Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and as the population increases, health and care providers need to offer services in different ways to meet the growing demand. The Wandsworth Health and Wellbeing Board will oversee the delivery of the Health and Care Plan. We will continue to work using an integrated approach with local organisations and groups to implement actions that will provide quality health and care services our residents deserve.
