Local health and wellbeing plan

Our vision for Bradford district and Craven is for everyone to have the best possible outcomes for their health and wellbeing and for people to remain happy, healthy and home.

To achieve this, people working in the NHS, local authorities and the voluntary and community sector have worked together to develop local priorities to ensure that health and care services are built around the needs of local populations.

These organisations have also been collaborating with colleagues across Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, Wakefield and Harrogate on shared priorities as part of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate health and wellbeing partnership.

The priorities make up the West Yorkshire and Harrogate health and wellbeing plan which shows how local services will evolve over the next five years to deliver on the national Five Year Forward View.

The West Yorkshire and Harrogate health and wellbeing partnership is one of the national Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) created to help drive a genuine and sustainable transformation in health and care between 2016 and 2021.
