Health Services: Isle of Wight
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps the Government is taking to support the voluntary health sector community on the Isle of Wight.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
The Department recognises the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector as a valuable partner in improving people’s health and wellbeing. The Government is committed to resetting the relationship with civil society and unlocking its potential. We want civil society to be an equal, expert partner, integral to the delivery of the Government’s plan for a decade of national renewal, including for health and social care.
NHS England supports the voluntary sector on the Isle of Wight through investment from the Better Care Fund, alongside the Isle of Wight Council. Two substantial areas of investment are for preventative community services and support for carers.
