Our Approach
It set out our strategic framework for improving health and healthcare in the region, based on international and national evidence of best practice, informed by local circumstances and needs in Yorkshire and the Humber. It was not a reconfiguration plan for the region. Rather, it was intended to provide the backdrop and context for individual organisations to set their own strategy and to raise our collective ambition to improve health and health care.
This chapter sets out how we (that is the SHA and our fourteen PCTs) approached the next phase – designing a road map for the implementation of the recommendations contained in Healthy Ambitions.
This has been complex and has required a careful balance between ensuring that we make the improvements we need, with securing local ownership and engagement. It was our ambition to accelerate improvement – not to override local leadership which would be counter-productive to making the changes needed in the region. The following chapters set out the ways in which the recommendations in Healthy Ambitions will be taken forward – covering:
- All of the different pathways
- Levels of delivery – i.e. regional or local
- The key enablers needed to support delivery
- How we will ensure delivery is taking place
- How we will measure success
- Region wide governance arrangements
