Delivery Plan | Provider Hub

Looking ahead

We will develop delivery plans for the next 5 years to see the outcomes by:

Making sure we communicate our plans widely across the sector
Sharing our data and insight with health partners to promote joint commissioning approaches
Regular monitoring of the projects to see how the work is progressing
Gathering insight from workforce and people using the services
Being transparent about the evaluations of the actions
