About Us
In line with the emerging government agenda,
Cornwall has revised the way in which its strategic partnerships
are configured. This resulted in the dissolution of the
Cornwall Strategic Partnership (CSP) structure at the end of March
2011. Many of the thematic partnerships which formed the
wider Cornwall Strategic Partnership have continued and there
are new statutory partnerships established with the Local
Enterprise Partnership and the shadow Health and Wellbeing
Board.
A Public Sector Group has been running since
November 2009, which complemented the activities of the CSP,
focussing on priorities for public sector transformation and
greater efficiency. This body has been revised and
re-launched to ensure it is in the best position possible to strive
to improve the quality of life for the people of Cornwall.
The Public Sector Group is responsible
for delivering the Joint Framework for Action, the high level
expression of commitment to Future
Cornwall, the sustainable community strategy. This includes the
long term vision for Cornwall and shorter term goals, including
public sector transformation and efficiency priorities.
