Speaking the same language
In April 2016, Radian Housing Group hosted a conference where residents and health, housing and other sectors got together to talk about how they can work more closely together.
The Right Honourable Lord Hunt OBE, the Labour Party's health spokesman, Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Lords and President of the Royal Society for Public Health was the key speaker.
Health and Housing 2016: Speaking the same language conference helped delegates come together to share insight, expertise and knowledge and began to break down traditional organisation barriers providing space to begin to reimagine what services, delivered collaboratively, could look like.
For me, it's a no-brainer. What residents want is simple. They want local services, delivered by local
people in jobs which support the local economy. They want to retain control of service quality
and cost, and have a real say in how services are delivered.
There is a live decision for the housing sector to debate whether we continue to make or buy
… or share co-produced services for the public good.
The debate on whether or not we can collectively
begin to better work together at a regional/sub regional basis to meet the challenges we face
is indeed now centre stage.
Lord Hunt's thought provoking presentation is available by following the link below. Let's continue the debate using the Twitter hashtag #CollaborateDebate
