The NHS Offer……Gloucestershire Deserves the Best of Health

Our Plans for the Next Three Years
The floods in Gloucestershire last year reinforced the value of public bodies and local communities working together towards a common goal – to deliver the very best for local people both in terms of personal well-being and access to timely and responsive services.
The people of Gloucestershire deserve a Primary Care Trust that is ambitious in pursuit of excellence in health – making sure that services are sensitive to the needs of the individual, are accessible and are focused on encouraging and maintaining independence.
It is important to us that people’s experiences of the NHS meet their expectations. We must also ensure that as well as purchasing high quality care and treatment, services represent value for money.
The PCT is producing a Strategic Framework for the next three years (2008-11), which captures these important principles. This Framework, which has also been referred to as the ‘NHS Offer,’ will set out our aims and objectives over this period and will describe how we will invest our resources.
Over the last few months of 2007 we have been working with local people to agree how the principles described above are turned into actions so that services can be developed in the right way for local people. We received a variety of comments from local people higlighting priority areas, including areas for increased investment, named professional coordinating health and social care, respite for carers and helping people make lifestyle changes.
The Framework will be presented to the PCT’s Board at the end of January 2008 and will be available to view on this website along with a summary.
