Knowsley

Located between the two thriving cities of Liverpool and Manchester, Knowsley is well located, fantastically connected and yet still beautifully green.

However, like many areas in Cheshire and Merseyside, Knowsley faces challenges with deprivation and health inequalities. Knowsley Better Together is the borough’s plan for transformation and details how public service partners, local businesses and local residents will work together to deliver a new deal for communities and improved outcomes for residents across the area.

The plan aims to:

• Increase in the number of people supported to manage their own conditions
• Reduce avoidable admissions to hospital
• Increasingly integrated community-based management of long-term conditions
• Improve the effectiveness of reablement services to support people to remain at home
• Increase social prescribing
• Increase resilience and sustainability of the Knowsley Health and Social Care system
• Reduce delayed transfers of care

Services are co-ordinated through four locality hubs across the borough and partners across the borough have been working towards the delivery of integrated care through the locality hubs.
