Integrated Commissioning

Our vision and aims

The Herefordshire Partnership sets out the vision for the county in that:

"Herefordshire will be a place where people, organisations and businesses, working together within an outstanding natural environment, will bring about sustainable prosperity and well-being for all"

To which we add the shared aims:

• Improve outcomes for local people
• Ensure excellence in service delivery
• Improve customers' and patients' experience
• Be efficient and deliver value for money

How will we deliver those aims?

We will meet these aims through a process called commissioning which includes:

• assessing health needs across the county through the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment
• agreeing the most important health outcomes to achieve
• deciding how to invest for maximum health gain
• arranging contracts for services
