    • National Outcome No. 6 - "We live longer, healthier lives"

    The AHIAG will focus on performance and the delivery of outcomes. In relation to this key priority, identification and agreement of indicators and targets, development of a delivery plan, reporting mechanisms and analysis of data will be in accordance with the Angus Health Improvement Plan.
