One of the first tasks for the Public Services Board (PSB) was to undertake a Well-being Assessment in Carmarthenshire. We have done this in partnership with Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire to ensure a consistent approach across the Hywel Dda area footprint.
The Carmarthenshire Well-Being Assessment 2017 outlines what well-being looks like in the County and what Carmarthenshire’s residents and communities want well-being to look like in the future. The assessment explores key issues which positively and/or negatively impact well-being and provides a basic overview and understanding of the nature and levels of well-being in Carmarthenshire. This initial assessment provides a foundation upon which we can build a greater understanding of well-being for our citizens and communities going forward.
Following consideration of the findings of the Well-being Assessment and engagement events, we developed our Draft Carmarthenshire Well-being Plan. Views on the draft plan were invited during a consultation period which ended on 3 January 2018. We considered the Consultation and Engagement Report produced following an analysis of all responses received and amendments were subsequently made to the draft Plan.
We approved the final Carmarthenshire Well-being Plan on 2 May 2018. This Plan will outline how we will work in partnership to address some of the key issues affecting the well-being of the citizens and communities of the County.
