7. Working with the community and connecting with the voice of lived experience to shape this service
8. Identifying some of the common factors that people value and what matters to communities within ICE
9. Supporting people with Long-term conditions (LTCs) to manage their own health.
10. Consider people's language rights, focus on improving health literacy that is culturally appropriate and inclusive, also promoting local translation and interpreting services.
