Commissioning framework for health and well-being

Commissioning for health and well-being means involving the local community to provide services that meet their needs, beyond just treating them when they are ill, but also keeping them healthy and independent. This framework builds on the White Paper Our health, our care, our say, which promised to help people stay healthy and independent, to give people choice in their care services, to deliver services closer to home and to tackle inequalities. This framework is about action, with a particular focus on partnership. It is for everyone who can contribute to promoting physical and mental health and well-being, including the business community, government regional offices and the third sector.
