Our Partnership is made up of organisations working closely together to plan services and address the challenges facing health and care services across the area.
In this section you will find links to useful information and publications about our partnership.
We are committed to meaningful conversations with people, on the right issues at the right time. We believe this is an important part of the way we work.
Engagement gives people an opportunity to have their say on services. By gathering people's views, it helps us understand what matters to people.

West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership are delighted to allocate over £500,000 to thirteen voluntary and community organisations across the area.
The funds will be used to support community organisations, working together with health partners, to support those that have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Over 80 high quality applications were received.
Following an assessment with input from a number of perspectives, including public health, community sector, and partnership colleagues, final decisions were reached. Funding has been awarded to the following projects:
Robin Tuddenham, CEO for Calderdale Council and Co-Chair of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership Improving Population Health Programme said:
"We were delighted to receive so many quality applications from so many wonderful voluntary and community sector organisations in West Yorkshire and Harrogate. The calibre was so high that we have sought to increase the funding from £450,000 to £503,000. The Health and Care Partnership is committed to enhancing our focus on reducing health inequalities, supporting what is being delivered in place and as set out in our five year strategy. This represents one of the ways in which we will support local services respond to the impact of COVID-19, supporting resilience within our communities in partnership with our innovative and creative voluntary and community sector."
Dr James Thomas, Chair of NHS Bradford District and Craven Clinical Commissioning Group, who is also the Co-Chair for West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership Improving Population Health Programme said:
"Thank you to all the organisations who applied for the funding. We will share the learning from the successful projects across the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health Inequalities Network including case studies, evaluations and a learning event and have sought permission to share applications with other potential funders who may be looking to achieve similar objectives."
Rob Webster, West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership CEO Lead said:
"This is the latest tranche of funding we have made available to voluntary and community organisations through our Partnership. It comes at an important time when third sector organisations are under extreme pressure financially and when their work is often most needed to support people who we know are subject to significant inequality."
