By working with local communities, our partner organisations and our health and care staff, our ambition is to significantly improve the health and wellbeing of the people who live in our region and create a health care system which is fit for the future.
We have a programme of key six workstreams, each has been appointed a strategic lead to set and develop the work programme to be delivered by working collaboratively and at scale across the region.
Patient choice: Your right to choose
If your GP needs to refer you for a physical or mental health condition, in most cases you have a legal right to choose which hospital or service you go to. This includes NHS and many private hospitals that provide services to the NHS. You may also choose your clinical team led by a consultant or named healthcare professional.
