Decision:

8.1

The Director of Public Health submitted a report setting out Sheffield City Council’s (SCC) support to the ongoing development of arrangements for implementing the priorities in the NHS Long Term Plan (LTP).

It identified a number of areas where the LTP’s aspirations are considered to be too weak, set out the Council’s response to those areas, and described SCC’s aspirations for how the health and care system should work at neighbourhood, city and ‘Integrated Care System’ (ICS) geographies.
