“Building a new partnership with GPs” Has already started with ‘early implementer’ status The initial meeting of the H&WBB “The art of the possible” - rebuilding local primary care teams -unified approach on needs assessment -jointly-appointed commissioners -…..what else?

What’s at Stake? How will GP commissioning meet health needs of residents? How will commissioning encourage a variety of providers? How best to integrate health and social care to reduce costs and avoidable demand? How best to focus the preventative approach to improve public health? How best to work with GPs to reduce health inequalities?
