Work Programme and work streams

The Mid and West Wales region has an established tradition of collaborative working to improve and integrate health and social care. Initiatives such as the Mid and West Wales Procurement Hub and West Wales Adult Placement Service have been in place for a number of years and were conceived from a commitment by Directors of Social Services to work collaboratively to address shared challenges, maximise efficiency, achieve consistency and deliver better outcomes for users and carers.



Regional Implementation Plan (RIP)

The RIP outlines how the collaborative will deliver the specific duties contained within the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 and contains a range of programmes aimed at:
  • Remodelling services (e.g. Older people, Intermediate Care, Learning Disability, Mental Health)
  • Delivering key duties within the Act
  • Citizen engagement is being reviewed, with the aim of establishing a Citizens’ Panel to support implementation of the Act
  • Regional aims reflected in Local Authority Plans and LHB Integrated Medium Term Plans (IMTPs)
