​The plan outlines what we aim to deliver in the coming year to improve health and wellbeing within the resources made available to us. The investments and activities within the plan create a foundation for our draft strategy called New Directions, which will be widely debated and consulted upon early in 2009.

Our Business Plan for 2009 places an emphasis on cross-Departmental working which  is essential if our Department is to deliver significant improvements in health and social care for all.
