Collaborative Health and Social Care is an area in which collaborative cross-border approaches are proven to deliver considerable benefits to the citizen and the Programme area. Cross-border co-operation will contribute towards the more efficient delivery of health and social care services across the Programme area.

This will be achieved through building upon existing collaborative relationships and services on a cross-border basis, which will improve the health and wellbeing of people living in the programme area by enabling them to access quality health and social care services in the most appropriate setting to their needs.
