National drivers
Improve health and reduce, and where possible eliminate, inequalities in health
- support the role of citizens in promoting their health, individually and collectively
- develop the role of local communities in creating and sustaining health promote independence, service user involvement and clinical and professional leadership
- re-cast the role of all elements of health and social care so that the citizen will be seen and treated by high quality staff at home or locally - or passed quickly to excellent specialist care, where this is needed
- provide quality assured clinical treatment and care appropriate to need, and based on evidence
- strengthen accountability, developing a more corporate approach in NHS Wales so that organisations work together rather than separately ensure full public health engagement at both local and national levels.
