Community Health Services

The Care Closer to Home (CC2H) programmes were set up in Calderdale and Kirklees in response to the clear message received during engagement with patients, carers, the Public and local partner organisations. 

People told us that there should be no change to hospitals until better services were available in the community, closer to where people live to help them stay well and independent. They said they wanted services that were focused on an individual person’s needs and coordinated with other services.

Much progress has been made in both CCG areas with health and social care providers working in a more proactive, joined up way so that people receiving care spend less time finding their way through what can be a complex system made up of different organisations.

This work is already resulting in benefits for those patients who need it the most, particularly frail older people, those living with long term conditions such as heart disease, chronic chest conditions and diabetes and children with complex needs.
