This should strengthen and complement the Government’s recently published ‘Neighbourhood health framework’ and set out clearly where local government’s role and ambitions can build on that. This will inform national policy and support councils and partners to lead and shape local practice. The Government published its national 'Neighbourhood Health Framework' (NHF) in March 2026. The Framework sets out an ambition to “…. end people being passed from pillar to post in a fragmented and, at times, chaotic system, and make local health services meaningfully accountable to local residents and service users...”. The Framework set outs that this will be done through the development and delivery of locally-owned neighbourhood health plans, multidisciplinary neighbourhood teams and neighbourhood health centres. Regular references are made throughout the framework to the need to integrate a wide range of local services that support health and wellbeing. However, the practical proposals focus primarily on the National Health
