Health & Social Care
The VCS has made significant contributions to health and wellbeing, often reaching areas and communities that have been difficult to reach by mainstream health and social care providers. To this end, and the government’s increasing recognition of VCS contribution, the VCS has a significant role to play in the region’s health and social care agenda. This section deals with those policies that affect health, well being and social care.
