Consultation Start Date: 8th January 2018
Consultation Close Date: 16th February 2018

Our new Draft Strategic Plan 2018-21 outlines our health and social care pledges and actions for 2018-2021.

More people than ever need our services; demand is likely to keep increasing. We have less money than we need to meet the growing demand.

We want to work together with you to build communities that are vibrant, resourceful and are places where people feel supported by their family, neighbours and local services. We will work differently; we will be more innovative. We will provide safe and effective services for less money.

You can help us. Tell us your views.

We want as many local people as possible to feedback their thoughts about our plans for future health and social care services in North Ayrshire. The draft plan was informed by views from some of our staff, some of our stakeholders and some of North Ayrshire public.

To tell us your views, please complete the short online survey, email us at PlanningandPerformance@north-ayrshire.gov.uk
