How local health services are organised

Understanding local health needs


Health and Wellbeing Board

The South Tyneside Health and Wellbeing Board makes sure that local services work together to respond to the community's needs and priorities. 

The board includes:

  • local councillors
  • representatives from the Council
  • representatives from health services
  • Healthwatch South Tyneside, to make sure patients and communities have a voice in decisions that affect them

Understanding health needs in South Tyneside

The board uses data from a range of places to understand the needs of the local area.

See the latest data on the needs of children and young people with SEND in South Tyneside.

This information is used to help the South Tyneside Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and the Council to understand what services are needed, and what services need to be changed.
