Priority wards – working with our most vulnerable communities in Lancashire and South Cumbria

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB has been working with partners and with communities in some of our wards with the highest levels of socio-economic deprivation and poorer health outcomes.

These wards are where there is a higher number than expected of attendances and admissions into the urgent and emergency care department and where there are high levels of deprivation within the community.

This work has been developed working in each of the four place-based partnerships in Lancashire and South Cumbria. These partnerships include representatives of health, local authority, voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations, independent sector providers and the wider community, and work together to plan and deliver services. They also work together to make sure our services are joined up to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for the population, prevent people from being unwell and reduce health inequalities across our neighbourhoods.

Priority wards have been identified by looking at data and intelligence held by all partners:
