The Regional Investing for Health Strategy
The Investing for Health Strategy is a regional framework for action designed to improve health and social well-being and reduce health inequalities of the population.
The Investing for Health Strategy seeks to address the imbalance between the prevention and treatment of ill health by working in partnership to address the wider factors, such as poverty, education, employment and housing that can impact on our health and social well-being. The two overarching aims of the Investing for Health Strategy are:
- To improve the health of our people by increasing the length of their lives and increasing the number of years they spend free from disease, illness and disability.
- To reduce inequalities in health between geographical areas, socio-economic groups and minority groups.
