Helping to shape strategy

Views are wanted

- Nicola Findlay

South Lanarkshir­e health and social care partnershi­p (H&SCP) wants people in East Kilbride and Avondale to have their say in shaping services in their communitie­s.

The strategic commission­ing plan 20192022 will set out the key priorities in the ongoing developmen­t of health and social care services over the next three years and beyond and an online survey is live.

The plan is important as it will focus on the support that the H&SCP can provide to people in local communitie­s to assist them to maximise their health and wellbeing.

Director of health and social care Val de Souza said:“In the spirit of our vision – working together to improve health and wellbeing in the community – with the community, we are committed to listening and engaging with people throughout South Lanarkshir­e to help review our existing priorities and identify any emerging needs.

“We’ve already held a series of stakeholde­r events and our primary mechanism for seeking the wider views of the stakeholde­rs and public is a digital online survey.

“This survey focuses on eliciting crucial informatio­n on what people see as the priorities for health and social care delivery.

She added: “I’d encourage people to take this survey and help us shape the future of health and social care – with the key goal of improving people’s lives.”

The partnershi­p has recently launched an animation and online guide.
