Parliamentary Action and Influencing Policy
The APPG and Culture, Health & Wellbeing Alliance have partnered with the Kent Surrey Sussex Academic Health Science Network on a briefing for Integrated Care System planning. You can download the briefing here. This briefing is for those responsible for Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STP) /Integrated Care Systems (ICS) planning. Its purpose is to support and inspire planners to include the arts and culture in their vision for the transformation of care.
The APPG provides a springboard for parliamentary action, such as debates and questions for oral and written answer and for making policy recommendations:
