Health Partnership
Tackling health inequalities and addressing public health priorities by improving and strengthening commissioning arrangements with Greater Manchester’s Third Sector.
The Health Partnership embeds third sector service provision into the Greater Manchester health agenda and ensures the commissioning process is informed from a third sector perspective. It does this by building a cross-sector positive partnership which informs and supports commissioning; and supports localities through sharing best practice and finding ways of embedding this in local health economies.
