Inventing our future Collective action for a sustainable economy

09 Delivering Healthy Futures
Chapter summary
The Actions identified in Chapters 6-8 will support and influence (rather than replicate or replace)
three key groups of processes: it is these that will contribute substantively to the delivery of
Healthy Futures. These delivery processes are those relating to:
• Regional priorities set out in the Integrated Regional Strategy and in other ‘premier league’
regional strategies
• National priorities for population health set out in Choosing Health
• Local and sub-regional priorities, particularly those defined by the LSPs and being advanced
– across much of the Region – through Local Area Agreements, and those services being
influenced by IiC partnership programmes.
Progress on delivering the Actions identified in Healthy Futures – and on achieving the overall
Vision – will be reviewed regularly by EERA’s Health and Social Inclusion Panel.
9.1 Healthy Futures has been developed from the premise that the health of people in the East of
England is – literally – ‘everyone’s business’. Delivering Healthy Futures will therefore be a shared
responsibility. The hope is that the wide range of partner organisations and agencies that have
contributed to the development of this Strategy will be influenced by Healthy Futures in preparing
their own corporate plans and making decisions about resource allocation.
9.2 Beyond this, the delivery of Healthy Futures will be ensconced within three groups of delivery
processes (which are explained below). The intention is that these should be facilitated and supported
by the Actions identified in this document. Progress in delivering these Actions will be overseen by the
EERA’s Health and Social Inclusion Panel. These different elements – and the relationships between
them – are illustrated in Figure 9.1(overleaf) and described in the paragraphs that follow.
