The government is encouraging National Health Service Bodies and Local Authorities to integrate the provision of certain Health and Social Care services where this is appropriate.

1. Has your authority taken any steps already to integrate the provision of any Health and Social Care services? If so, how is this being organised?

2. Is your authority currently giving consideration to, or planning for, the integration of Health and Social Care services in the next 1-2 years? If so, who or which department in your authority is leading the planning for this?
