NHS England, PHE, 1 July 2015
- NHS England is seeking expressions of interest in its Health New Towns programme
- This programme forms part of the Five year Forward View supporting the development of strong communities and healthy places to live through good urban and housing design.
- The programme has three core objectives:
- a. To develop new and more effective ways of shaping new towns, neighbourhoods and strong communities that promote health and wellbeing, prevent illness and keep people independent
- b. To show what is possible when we radically rethink how health and care services could be delivered, freed from the legacy constraints (i.e. existing services) that operate in other areas. This will support the New Models of Care programme by adding to the learning about how health and care services could be integrated to provide better outcomes at the same or lower cost
- c. To accomplish the first two objectives in a way that can be replicated elsewhere, making learning available to other national programmes as well as other local areas
