Bracknell Forest is one of the healthiest places to live. We don’t want you to just live longer, we want you to live longer in good health.  We will continue to invest in preventing you and your family from needing health and care services in the first place.

We pledge to provide or buy the best possible services that meet the needs of our residents.

We will continue to:

• place the right priority on mental health, particularly in young people.
• seek the most modern and effective ways to keep you healthy from whoever is the best provider.
• engage with GP practices to encourage improved and integrated provision.
• seek the right facilities close to residents as we did with the well-used Urgent Care Centre at the Health Space.
• transform the way children’s centres work to provide a wider range of health and care services making them into family support centres.
• pursue initiatives to reduce isolation and loneliness.
• provide for our most vulnerable residents in a person and family centred way.
• Collaborate with Frimley Health and Care to deliver a new state-of-the-art elderly mental health facility at Heathlands in Bracknell which will see 66 beds available for those suffering from dementia.
• transform our services to meet the needs of residents.
• enhance facilities for young people and seek a new town centre based facility.
• be an active member of the armed services covenant.
