For the reasons set out in the report: -
- That the general direction
of travel towards greater integration of Social Care and Health be
supported.
- That it be supported
as a fundamental design principle in putting together the Social
Care services of the new Council.
- That the Chairman of
the People Workstream and the Chief Executive of the Primary Care

relation both to the commissioning and the delivery of services as
and when appropriate, in pursuit of that direction of
travel.
