The West Northamptonshire Health and Wellbeing Board have recently discussed a Review of the Placed Based Operating Model (Local Area Partnerships Or LAPS).

The Model is a fundamental pillar in the successful achievement of the 10 Live Your Best Life (LYBL) ambitions at a Place. The Model has been rolled out since August 2022 and it is now deemed time to review the benefits and identify where there are opportunities to strengthen delivery. A Task & Finish Group has been established to oversee the Review and will agree the governance, process, scope, timescales, options appraisal methodology and production of the full Business Case to include conclusion and recommendations on how the Model will evolve going forward.

 As part of this process West Northamptonshire are gathering feedback on the Model to understand what is working well and what needs to improve. This will help us to ensure that the local area partnerships (LAPs) are as effective as they can be in supporting a Place-Based Approach to improve the health and wellbeing of residents.

As the VCSE lives, works, and invests in Place your views are sought. Please complete the survey by 15^th December 2024.
