Our Places

Norfolk and Waveney Place Boards

Place-based partnerships will bring together the NHS, local councils and voluntary organisations, residents, people who access services, carers and families. These partnerships will lead design and delivery of integrated services in their local area.

In Norfolk and Waveney, five Place Boards will bring together colleagues from health and social care to integrate services with a focus on effective operational delivery and improving people’s care. They will work closely with our seven Health and Wellbeing Partnerships based around district council footprints.

To consistently use a system-wide perspective when considering how to integrate health and care services, including VCSE and independent sector agencies.
To provide oversight and assurance to the ICB; developing a shared Place Plan made up of the ICS strategic objectives/ICS strategy and local need.
