Department of Health strategic framework

The strategic framework shows how the high-level objectives of the Department mesh with the wider Government performance framework set out in the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review. It also shows how these objectives link to the outcome indicators used by the NHS and local government in the Vital Signs and National Indicator Set respectively.
