The Department of Health’s purpose is to improve England’s health and well-being and in doing so achieve better health, better care, and better value for all.
The vision for health and social care is focused around five key priorities:
A patient-led NHS
Delivering better health outcomes
A more autonomous and accountable system
Improved public health
Reforming long-term and social care
The work of the Department of Health centres around three strategic objectives.
• Better health and well-being for all: helping people stay healthy and well; empowering people to live independently; and tackling health inequalities.
• Better care for all: the best possible health and social care that offers safe and effective care, when and where people need it; and empowering people in their choices.
• Better value for all: delivering affordable, efficient and sustainable services; contributing to the wider economy and the nation.
