The NHS Five Year Forward View reinforces the need to join up primary care, community health services, mental health services and adult social care, to work alongside specialists in hospitals. These services need to tackle causes, not just symptoms; to treat the whole person, not just an individual ailment; and to be more proactive in supporting people with long-term health conditions to manage their health and avoid unnecessary hospital stays.

- Our children to have a great start in life
- People in Bradford District to have good mental wellbeing
- People in all parts of the District supported to live and ageing well
