• to improve outcomes in population health and healthcare;
• tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access;
• enhance productivity and value for money and;
• help the NHS support broader social and economic development.NHS South West London Integrated Care Board decides how the South West London NHS budget is spent and develops plans to improve people's health, deliver higher quality care, and better value for money.
