Health priorities are being identified at Ribble Valley Borough Council as part of wider NHS and social care changes across Lancashire and south Cumbria
Access to doctors and pharmacy services, heart disease and high blood pressure are healthcare issues where the Ribble Valley performs poorly to other places, according to a council report linked to a regional NHS shake-up.
Integrated care boards were launched across the country last year. The previous system of local clinical commissioning groups has ended. The working group met recently and has suggested focusing on the barriers that Ribble Valley people may face in getting health services or advice. A report for the latest Health & Housing Committee states information provided to the working group shows that Ribble Valley scores positively against other Lancashire authorities on almost all health indicators.Preventative work in the community can help reduce these illnesses, as well as making the general population healthier, the report says.
Regarding the new Integrated Care Board system, the report adds: “The Health and Well-being Partnership is in its infancy and will need careful monitoring by the working group to ensure it serves the people of Ribble Valley effectively.”
