Support connections in our communities Reducing the unfair and preventable disparities in healthwhich impactthe quality of life, care options, health conditions and life expectancy Bolton people experience Improving the impact of our services by having Bolton people as our partners in the development of holistic community centric servicesSometimes, I feel that you can often be overlooked because of your genderand age.Unfair differences to health pops out. There are postcode lotteries -everyone should get the same access.Getting appointments is different throughout the borough, for example Horwich is different to Westhoughton.There should be better links between the job centre and the doctors and other public services.We need to be more active to promote health and well being.Empower people and patients so they can help themselves and understand what%u2019s needed.Connections in the community is very important - how do I look after myself, local initiatives in the community to join (active groups). Signposting initiatives, community groups for the public to join and %u2018Let%u2019s keep Bolton moving%u2019.3. Help Bolton people to live healthy lives5. Make the best use of our resources6.
