“This is a unique opportunity to shape the local provision of health and care – to reduce health inequalities not only within the Black Country but also to close the gap on inequalities locally compared to those across the rest of the country. Our communities deserve the best and I look forward to supporting transformation and innovation by focussing resources on areas with the greatest impact on the health outcomes of our people.”
