Emergency services from Yorkshire and the Humber, along with NHS England and Public Health England, have pledged to work closer together for the benefit of the health and wellbeing of people across the region.
Launched yesterday, 21 November, the Yorkshire and Humber Emergency Services Prevention and Early Intervention Consensus Statement sees police, ambulance and fire services create an approach which is the first regional agreement in the country.
With demand for health and social care rising, the main focus of the services is to use joint intelligence and skills to support communities with ill-health prevention and early intervention where problems are identified.
This includes greater sharing and development of referral pathways into key services such as falls prevention and support for mental health, alcohol and drug problems, advice to keep homes warm and social support to combat loneliness and isolation.
