Review of Integration Scheme in Argyll and Bute: Closes 19th October 2025
People across Argyll and Bute are being invited to have their say on a document that outlines how health and social care functions and services are delegated across Argyll and Bute.
In 2016, Argyll and Bute Council and NHS Highland brought all health and social care services together to form the Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP). The main purpose of integrating these services was to improve the wellbeing of people who use them. A Scheme of Integration was agreed, and subsequently approved by the Scottish Government.
By law, Integration Schemes must be reviewed every five years and submitted to the Scottish Government for approval. The Integration Scheme provides information about how health and social care functions and services will be delegated to the HSCP by the Council and NHS Highland. A review of the current Scheme has been undertaken and a number of proposed amendments have been recommended. These changes have been considered and approved by both the Council and NHS Highland Health Board at their respective meetings held in June/July 2025. There is also a requirement to consult with stakeholders to seek their feedback on any proposed changes, and to consider all views expressed.
Further information, including the revised scheme and a summary of the proposed changes is available on the Council website:- Argyll and Bute Council
If you require a hard copy of the documentation, or in a different format, please get in touch at integrationschemereview@argyll-bute.gov.uk or by calling 01546 604325.
