Integrating health and social care

Delivering the best health, best care and best value for East Lothian's communities.
The Scottish Government legislated to integrate health and social care services in 2014. As a result the East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership (ELHSCP) was formed.
ELHSCP brings together services from East Lothian Council and NHS Lothian to provide a range of social care, social work, health, rehabilitation, early intervention, and learning disability support services for the people of East Lothian.
Our vision
To support all people in East Lothian to live healthy lives, to achieve their potential to live independently, and exercise choice over the services they use.
How it works
The East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership (ELHSCP) is overseen by a governing body called the East Lothian Integration Joint Board (IJB). The IJB is made up of voting members from East Lothian Council and NHS Lothian, as well as senior operational management and clinical professional leads from ELHSCP, third sector partners, community, staff and service user representatives.
The IJB receives funds from both East Lothian Council and NHS Lothian on an annual basis to deliver delegated adult health and social care services. The IJB determines where these funds should be invested, and sets strategic objectives and delivery priorities to meet the needs of East Lothian's communities.
Functions delegated to IJBs include:
- adult social care services
- adult primary and community health care services
- some elements of adult hospital care
The arrangements for the Integration Joint Board and Health and Social Care Partnership are set out in the IJB’s Integration Scheme.
The strategic objectives and delivery priorities are detailed in the IJB Strategic Plan.
