 We no longer live in the world in which our social care and health services were originally designed for. Our lifestyles and expectations have moved on. People now live longer, medicine can do much more and technology is changing the way we live. The healthier Wales will transform our social care and health system to make it sustainable for future generations. The needs of individuals, families and communities will determine how the system is designed. Services need to shift from hospitals to communities and from communities to homes. Everyone in Wales deserves to lead longer and happier lives, be able to remain active and independent in their own homes for as long as possible. We want to kickstart the transformation we need to see across health and social care. And we need to ensure that every penny spent on social care and health services every year works to achieve that. How will we know that a healthier Wales is working? People will be happier and healthier, services will be better, care will be innovative and modern and staff will feel looked after and motivated. Together we can create a healthier Wales.
