Our Mission

To work with the people of Lincolnshire to improve health and health services.

Our Vision

We have a vision in Lincolnshire where:

People live longer because they are healthier, where the health and services people experience are not determined by age, sex or social class and where people are confident that when they use services they will have a first class experience

To deliver this vision, we will by 2014:

• Increase life expectancy by 2.3 years for males and 1.5 years for females from 2005-07 levels 
  
• Reduce health inequalities measured by the reduction in life expectancy variants between the least and most deprived populations from 6.7 years (2004-08) to 6.2 years for males and from 4.7 (2004-08) to 4.1 years for females
  
• Achieve top quartile performance for patient experience 
  

Our Values

We have a set of values, embedded in the NHS constitution, which create a framework that applies to all that we do.
