The Health, Social Care and Well-being (HSCWB) Partnership in Merthyr Tydfil (which involves Cwm Taf Health Board, Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and representatives of the Third Sector and community groups) is consulting on a new HSCWB Strategy. They want to know what you think about it. Have they identified the right things to focus on or are there any issues you feel they have overlooked?
The Health, Social Care & Well-being Strategy is a three year plan for Merthyr Tydfil. It will cover the period 2011-2014 and will show how they will drive forward improvements in the health and well-being of our local population. This is the third strategy and builds on the achievements they have made together since 2005.
The Strategy is not just about treating and caring for people who are ill, although that is an important element, it is also about keeping everyone fit and independent, helping people to participate fully in life. It addresses a broad range of factors that influence health and wellbeing including employment, housing and transport as well as considering the specific needs of groups such as older people and people with mental health problems.
The draft Strategy document is available in English or Welsh and is available on line for you to read, together with a questionnaire for you to complete to give them your views and comments. You can submit your response in the following ways:
Through the Local Health Board website www.cwmtaflhb.wales.nhs.uk or the Local Authority website www.merthyr.gov.uk
