  • South East Glasgow Community Health and Care Partnership Health Improvement Plan 2006/07 Draft
    SOUTH EAST GLASGOW COMMUNITY HEALTH AND CARE PARTNERSHIP HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2006/07 DRAFT DRAFT 1 FOREWORD Alan Stewart Chair, South East Community Health & Care Partnership (CHCP) This Plan sets out a programme for change and action to improve health and reduce the ‘inequalities gap’ of the people of South East Glasgow. Change in the way health and social care services are delivered and accessed and action that breaks the cycle of deprivation and helps build local communities where no one is held back by disadvantage. Delivering this agenda will require new ways of thinking to support and encourage people to take greater control for their own health and new ways of working that will win the support and commitment of our staff and the people we serve. Anticipating need, improving local access and shifting the balance of care from institutions with less reliance on hospital based and accommodated care to care closer to home will require greater collaboration and involvement from all partners. It is our intention to actively encourage service users, carers and the people of South East Glasgow to participate in local service planning, service modernisation and service delivery. We will also seek to secure involvement from all staff groups and key organisations. Targeting resources locally on the most vulnerable and those with greatest need to tackle lifestyle issues and those factors that are often considered outside the health domain will also be a key objective for us. These factors or determinants include: housing, education, employment status and living in a community where people feel safe from crime and anti social behaviour.
