Regional Area Plan
Every local Council and health board needs to make and share a plan for their area, called an Area Plan. This plan shows what services they will provide based on the care and support services people say they need when we complete our Population Needs Assessment (PNA). The plan must include:
- How partners will work together.
- When we plan to pool money for care and support services.
- How we plan to deliver care and support services.
- Information about preventative care and support services.
- How we plan to give information, advice, and assistance.
- How we will provide services in Welsh.
The Plan is structured around the statutory core themes identified in the PNA which are older adults, children and young people, carers, autism and neurodivergence, mental health and learning disabilities, housing, workforce, and commissioning.
It is ambitious, and it sets a clear road map for the delivery of an integrated model of health care and wellbeing across Gwent. The RPB provides leadership and oversight on the delivery of the plan, supported by appropriate governance and performance management systems.
