D1 How agencies work together to meet individual care and support needs
Role of bodies responsible for integrating health and social care, e.g. Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWB).
Health and wellbeing boards were established under the Health and Social Care Act 2012 to act as a forum in which key leaders from the local health and care system could work together to improve the health and wellbeing of their local population.
The HWBs enable different organisations to work together in planning and delivering local services. For example, the NHS, Adult social care services, Children’s services and Youth services.
Health and Wellbeing Boards are where representatives from the health and social care sector work together to improve the health and well-being of their local population.
They report to the clinical commissioning groups and local authorities.
These boards are at the centre of the Care and Health Improvement Programme, introduced in April 2015, which aims to help HWBs develop their leadership and better support the integration of services
