NHS Highland and Highland Council have approved a commitment to a pathway for integration of health and social care services that would provide both Authorities with the joint responsibility for specifying the outcomes to be achieved for service users and the totality of the resources to be allocated to each of the two service areas.  

The Board and Council has agreed to implement a single lead agency model to deliver the integrated Partnership: for the delivery of Adult Community Care Services the lead agency is NHS Highland; and for the provision of Children’s Services, the lead agency is Highland Council.

The operation of the Health and Social Care Partnership will be internally reviewed after one year of operation.
