Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Stephen Dorrell (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 26 February 2013 on behalf of the Department of Health.
Specialist Health Services
- Question
-
There is currently much talk about the importance of integrated services. Can my hon. Friend assure us that when commissioning primary care, the NHS Commissioning Board will emphasise the importance of integrating it with the other community health services supplied by the NHS, and that social care will be included in that fully integrated service?
- Answer
-
I am happy to give my right hon. Friend an absolute assurance to that effect. The Department and I are working closely and collaboratively with both the Commissioning Board and the Local Government Association to ensure that we deliver integrated care, which is much the best way of keeping patients out of hospital and maintaining their condition.
