Health and social work services

Description

Our vision for a new integrated wellness service is to reduce health inequalities through better service integration, moving resources away from avoidable treatment and care and towards prevention and early intervention. An approach to targeting resources at individuals and communities of greatest need will be required. As an incentive to providers this specification and subsequent contract includes an equity premium payment designed to reward the provider for increasing the uptake of the service and completion of behaviour change by people living in areas of deprivation. Public health intends to commission services in an integrated model, to: — improve outcomes and quality of service delivery.
