“Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it” H. James Harrington

12. Summary
There is an opportunity for public services to redesign how we deliver services to those who need us most.
Need to move from a model of public service delivery that focuses on reactive response and crisis intervention to a model that concentrates on prevention and early intervention.
Reducing inequalities is therefore the main focus of Community Planning Aberdeen.
