The SCS outcomes relevant to adult wellbeing and health and to which these programme contribute are shown here. The projects within this theme are those which are, in the main, delivered and led by the Council. However, many of the projects are delivered with involvement of key partners where relevant to a particular project. The projects governed within this set of programmes are just one of the delivery mechanisms to achieve the outcomes of the SCS theme. Activities outside this programme governance designed are governed under other appropriate arrangements (e.g. service planning, partnership delivery boards, etc). A delivery map has been developed which shows all these partnership activities - for further information, contact the Wellbeing & Health Partnership Coordinator, Helen Wilding (helen.wilding@newcastle.gov.uk).
*As the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment is the foundation upon which all the work carried out within this theme sits, the JSNA project reports directly to, and is governed by, the Theme Board.
