NHS Cheshire and Merseyside arranges for some of its functions to be delivered and decisions about NHS funding to be made in the region’s nine Places – Cheshire East, Cheshire West, Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, Warrington, Wirral.

While NHS Cheshire and Merseyside retains overall accountability for NHS resources deployed at Place-level, Place-based partnerships – led by Place Directors – have the freedom to design and deliver services according to local need.

Wirral's Place partnership strengthens an existing track record of collaboration and joint working and brings together the NHS, Wirral Council and the Voluntary, Community & Faith sector to address the inequalities that exist in our communities and work with people to help them lead healthier lives. By working in partnership, we can not only focus on health and care but also empower people to seek new opportunities in education, employment and to take an active part in their community.

Our partnership is committed to achieving the best for people in Wirral.

Key priorities
