Overview

The Scottish Government has introduced the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 (the Act).  It requires that NHS Lothian and The City of Edinburgh Council create a new Integration Authority for Edinburgh with responsibility for delivering the national Health and Wellbeing Outcomes.

The Integration Scheme is the document which sets out how the Integration Authority will be established. The Scottish Government requires that the Draft Scheme is:

  • prepared and agreed by NHS Lothian and The City of Edinburgh Council
  • consulted upon publicly
  • amended, as appropriate, from the consultation; and
  • submitted to The Scottish Government for approval by 31 March 2015.

Why your views matter

The integration of health and social care potentially has a far reaching impact on a wide range of people.

It is important for NHS Lothian and the Council to ensure that a dialogue is undertaken with key groups and citizens, in order for the two agencies to take an informed decision on the final Integration Scheme for Edinburgh.
