Published on 28th May 2013, the Bill sets out the proposed framework for Health Boards and local authorities to integrate adult health and social care.
Voluntary Health Scotland has published a series of briefing papers to help voluntary health organisations understand the Bill and its implications for their organisation, service users and carers.
Our latest briefing paper focuses on the Policy Memorandum that accompanies the Bill and sets out what the Scottish Government wants to achieve. Our paper highlights the Scottish Government’s thinking about the role the third and independent sectors should play in driving forward the integration agenda:
