North Lincolnshire has set out a new long-term strategy to improve health outcomes across the region. The Health and Wellbeing Board has formally adopted the Health & Wellbeing Strategy 2025–2035, which aims to reduce inequalities and extend healthy life expectancy.
The plan focuses on two main ambitions: narrowing the gap in healthy life expectancy between different communities by 2030 and adding five years to overall healthy life expectancy by 2035.
Three priority areas form the backbone of the approach: creating healthier environments for families and communities, improving outcomes for women and children, and supporting people to live well in later life.
The strategy is aligned with the Integrated Care Strategy for Humber and North Yorkshire to ensure regional collaboration. It also introduces a new framework for measuring outcomes, combining lived experience with local data to track progress transparently.
Adoption of the plan marks a decade-long commitment to tackling health challenges in North Lincolnshire, with emphasis on prevention, early intervention, and stronger collaboration between local services.
