We work together to look at how services and support can be improved for our communities, so they have better wellbeing and health outcomes.
Help us to develop the next Population Needs Assessment
The Cwm Taf Morgannwg Regional Partnership and Public Services Board are working together to build a shared picture of what life is like for people across our region – what's working well, where people are struggling, what is changing and what could make life better. This will help inform two important assessments – the Population Needs Assessment and Wellbeing Assessment – which will influence priorities and plans for Cwm Taf Morgannwg over the next five years. We know that every day, services and organisations across Cwm Taf Morgannwg hear from people about their lives, their communities and the things that matter to them, and there is a huge amount of existing data, insights and stories that already exists about people's experiences. Now we want to bring that knowledge together.
We need your help
We’re asking services and organisations across CTM to share with us any existing data, research, reports, case studies, stories and more that helps to paint a picture about people’s lives in CTM.

Finding what matters to our communities
Every five years we undertake a regional Population Needs Assessment. This assessment guides what heath, social care and wellbeing services are needed in our community, and the range of support and services required to meet that need. We worked with the Cwm Taf and Bridgend Public Services Boards to produce a Population Needs Assessment and Wellbeing Assessment. By working together with our residents and community groups, we can listen to and understand our communities' needs, and then recommend to Welsh Government what health, social care and wellbeing services should be created or improved over the next five years (2023-2028).
Conversations that matter
Over a period of 100 days we worked with our partners to gather lots of data on our local population , and undertook activities to help us have meaningful conversations with our residents. We heard about our communities’ experiences, current needs and aspirations for the future so we can build on services that are working well, and also work together to address the challenges.
