The primary role of the Healthy Leeds Partnership is to act as the over-arching city-wide strategic partnership for health improvement and health inequalities enabling dialogue between statutory partners, service user and carer representatives, the voluntary, community and faith sector, and other key agencies for health.
The vision for the partnership is: Leeds will be a healthy city for everyone who lives, visits or works here, promoting fulfilling and productive lives for all. It will reduce inequalities in health between different parts of the city, between different groups of people and between Leeds and the rest of the country .
This partnership meets quarterly and there are 3 Health Forum representatives who sit on this partnership to ensure that the voluntary, community and faith sectors are represented. The Healthy Leeds Partnership will focus on:
-
All health, social care and wellbeing partnership groups to work within the Leeds Initiative framework.
-
The Healthy Leeds Partnership to include within its remit all health and social care provision as well as responsibility for improving health and tackling health inequalities.
-
