Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans he has to make non-legislative changes to remove barriers to the integration of care; and if he will make statement.
The Government has both non-legislative and legislative barriers to integration under review including those related to workforce, information sharing and funding. We are continuously building the evidence-base, sharing best practice and using feedback from local areas to inform changes that will reduce barriers and further join up care.
