Within this context, as NHS H&W develops as a statutory organisation, a significant challenge will be to determine how it effectively supports and enables place-based and local partnerships to take necessary action that will improve population health outcomes and reduce inequalities (i.e. the unfair and avoidable differences in health across the population, and within society).
