Our vision and aims
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.
East Lothian Integration Joint Board wants to make sure that health and social care services:
- are joined-up for service-users
- take account of the particular needs of individual service-users and their circumstances in different parts of the county
- respect our service-users' rights and take account of their dignity
- take account of the way that our service-users participate in their communities
- protect and improve our service-users' safety
- improve the quality of our services and ensure that they are planned and delivered locally in a way that is engaged with our communities
- anticipate needs and prevent problems arising
- make the best use of the available facilities, people and other resources.
