• Promoting healthy living and tackling the key risk factors which affect health
• Focusing on prevention and early intervention
• Supporting people to live independently
• Improving housing conditions for existing and new housing
• Improving mental health services
• Improving services for carers
• Improving leisure and cultural opportunities for all, and better access
• Understanding that different service delivery will be necessary to ensure fair health and wellbeing outcomes for all
