Community Care and Health Partnership

Role

The Community Care and Health Partnership has responsibility for improving the health and well-being of the population of Angus as well as supporting and enabling the most vulnerable groups in our communities to realise their potential and remain in their own communities for as long as possible. The partnership is also responsible for ensuring that the Alcohol and Drugs Partnership deliver on their key priorities i.e. prevention, recovery and children affected by parental substance misuse. The Community Care and Health partnership is to oversee the strategic development of the community care services in Angus and to ensure compliance with local and national policies and priorities.

The central aim of the partnership is to improve the health and well-being of the population of Angus as well as supporting and enabling the most vulnerable groups in our communities to realise their potential and remain in their own communities for as long as possible. Over the period 2011-2014 the partnership will focus on three priorities namely changing demography, achieving health equity and responding to the challenges which relate to the impact of alcohol and drugs in our community.
