Mental health
NHS West Sussex commissions (plans, buys and checks) services that support people with mental health problems.
Promoting health equalities
The increasing impact of health inequalities has grown over recent years to become one of the most vital concerns for West Sussex. Comprehensive, systematic action of sufficient scale is now required to meet the challenge and reverse the trend.
Public engagement
Finding out what priorities patients have will help in targeting service planning and resource allocation.
Workforce planning
NHS West Sussex has the responsibility not only to ensure that it has a workforce plan for itself – so it can ensure it has the right people, with the right skills, in the right place – but also that other NHS organisations that operate within West Sussex also have a plan and that all are consistent with each other.
