A new initiative in West Yorkshire will provide comprehensive employment and health support to residents, aiming to integrate services at GP surgeries, hospitals, dentists, and community hubs.
The £37 million funding aims to simplify access to essential support for individuals with health conditions and disabilities, offering personalised services all in one location. This effort forms part of a broader strategy to reshape employment assistance in the region.
At the first meeting of the Healthy Working Life Board, key figures, including Mayor Tracy Brabin, discussed their goal to make West Yorkshire the healthiest region in England by 2040. The board, which will oversee the programme’s progress, will meet regularly to ensure the initiative delivers sustainable support to residents, helping them navigate health and employment challenges with ease.
This initiative reflects West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s commitment to transforming local health and employment services for long-term benefit.
