  2. NW Improvement Network: leadership development support; a range of learning packages to share best practice; support developing new forms of public service delivery and large-scale change.
  3. Programmes from each of the five sub-regions looking at a range of areas including procurement support, adult social care reform, support for collaborative projects and health and wealth inequalities.
