Health and Wellbeing Boards
Commissioning cost-effective public health
Improving and promoting good health, preventing ill health, and tackling health inequalities are immense challenges that have faced NHS Service Commissioners for decades. Today, the challenge is made harder still by budgetary cuts and increasing demand for services by an ageing population.
With the abolition of PCTs in 2013, that is exactly the challenge facing Local Authorities, who will become responsible for:
- Establishing Health and Wellbeing Boards to support the integration of local NHS, social care and public health services and approve commissioning plans
- Leading joint strategic needs assessments and joint health and wellbeing strategies to promote collaboration on local commissioning plans
- Overseeing the ring-fenced public health budget to deliver health improvements to the local community.
Webstar Health offers a suite of Consulting Services to help Health and Wellbeing Boards manage the transition to become the gate-keeper of public health.
With over a decade of experience in delivering sustainable and cost-effective local enhanced services, Webstar Health also has the technology and management services to help you achieve excellence in NHS service delivery.
