Respondent: Basildon and Brentwood Clinical Commissioning Group (NHS)
Developing more effective ways of working: Equally importantly, BB CCG is seeking to support a reduction in need, through the development of services that help our population to take greater control of their own health and also by working with partner organisations that can have a positive impact on health and wellbeing. Therefore, BB CCG recognises that, whilst on one hand the increase in population projected within the Local Plan is likely to increase pressure on services, on the other these pressures could be more than offset by the opportunity, outlined in the Plan, to address some of the wider determinants of health, including employment, education, housing and the local environment. BB CCG will welcome the opportunity to work with Brentwood Council and other local partners to support these developments.
