Integration started to go live around Scotland from 1 April 2015, with the new Health and Social Care Partnerships taking on responsibility for planning and delivering joined-up and seamless health and social care provision for adults, and also, in some areas, children\u2019s services. Integration Schemes from each Health Board and Local Authority were submitted on time for Ministerial approval, by 1 April 2015.<\/p>\n

The three Health and Social Care Partnerships in East, North and South Ayrshire were the first to become fully functioning under the new legislation, with their Integration Joint Boards legally constituted on 2 April 2015.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing is in the process of signing off further Integration Schemes, with a further eleven signed off so far: Argyll and Bute, East Lothian, City of Edinburgh, Midlothian, Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, Renfrewshire, East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, North Lanarkshire and Shetland. \u00a0The Order to establish these eleven partnerships has been laid in Parliament. Officials from Integration and Reshaping Care Directorate at the Scottish Government are providing support on completion of Schemes and readiness for implementation more broadly.<\/p>\n

A Chief Officers\u2019 Network has also been established to bring together the leads for each partnership area on a regular basis to share learning, challenges and good practice as implementation progresses.<\/p>\n
