What are the big challenges for people in West Suffolk?
The health and wellbeing gap – although West Suffolk is generally healthy we are not doing enough about prevention and increasing healthy life expectancy
The care and quality gap – we know we have an increase in the number of very elderly people, many of whom will have multiple long term conditions, including dementia
The funding and efficiency gap – all our organisations need to look at how they use their resources, so that together we can use them even more effectively to continue to provide quality services

Integrated Neighbourhood Teams are a core element within each Connect area and work across a defined group of GP practices.
They are made up of health and care staff providing

1. Strengthening the support for people to stay well and manage their wellbeing and health in 
their communities
Building local integrated working, across all ages and across both physical and mental health.

Looking at how we co-ordinate services to help people of all ages keep well, get well and stay well.

… so that health and care services are sustainable into the future and work well for people. 
4. Making effective use of resources 
We will use the West Suffolk pound in the best way locally, reducing duplication and waste. All our organisations face challenging finances and if we work together we can use our resources better.
