Although the first Well- being Plan is in draft and covers the period 2018-2023, the objectives and actions identified look at delivery on a longer term basis of up to 20-years. 1.3 The Draft Carmarthenshire Well-being Plan will focus on the delivery of four objectives: Healthy Habits People have a good quality of life, and make healthy choices about their lives and environment. Early Intervention To make sure that people have the right help at the right time; as and when they need it. Strong Connections Strongly connected people, places and organisations that are able to adapt to change.
