Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
If his Department will take steps with the Department of Health and Social Care to use the reorganisation of local government in Northamptonshire to better integrate the local delivery of health and social care.
We are already taking such steps. On 18 October we convened a meeting between Leaders and chief executives of the Northamptonshire councils, representatives of local health service providers and officials from the departments responsible, to start discussions on how, in future, adult social care might best be provided and integrated with health.
