strengthen our focus on prevention.
We have an integrated equipment service with Health.

Council and the five Clinical Commissioning Groups.
We have integrated working with Norfolk and Suffolk Mental Health
Foundation Trust.
There is co-location of community health and social care staff in the
localities.
