Western Bay Health and Social Care Programme

The Western Bay Health and Social Care Programme is a partnership initiative comprising Bridgend County Borough Council, Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, The City and County of Swansea, and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University (ABMU) Health Board together with partners in the third and independent sectors.

The Programme was established in 2012 with the purpose of integrating services more effectively for the benefit of service users and carers. It also aims to explore new and innovative ways of working to ensure services are sustainable in the face of growing demand and a challenging financial climate.
