Welcome to the Mid Wales Joint Committee for Health and Care website

In 2015 The Mid Wales Healthcare Collaborative was established in response to the Mid Wales Healthcare Study with the aim of ensuring that healthcare services in Mid Wales are effective for its population. Following the Welsh Government’s formal recognition of Mid Wales as a designated planning area, the Mid Wales Healthcare Collaborative transitioned to the Mid Wales Joint Committee for Health and Care in March 2018.

The Welsh Government’s long-term plan for the future of health and social care in Wales, ‘A Healthier Wales: Our Plan for Health and Social Care’, sets out the long term future vision of a ‘whole system approach to health and social care’ which focuses on health, wellbeing and prevention of illness.

The Mid Wales Joint Committee supports this direction of travel and it’s Strategic Intent sets out what we will do to ensure there is a joined up approach to the planning and delivery of health and care services across Mid Wales.
