Overview

Introduction

The Edinburgh Integration Joint Board (EIJB) was established in 2016 to bring together the planning and operational oversight for a range of NHS and Local Authority services. This was intended to improve overall health and wellbeing through the delivery of more efficient and effective health and social care services.

The Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership (EHSCP) is responsible for providing integrated services through the operational delivery of the EIJB’s strategic plan. Its workforce is made up of staff employed by both the City of Edinburgh Council and NHS Lothian, and our Chief Officer is accountable to the Chief Executives of both the City of Edinburgh Council and NHS Lothian.

This performance report sets out our progress against the strategic priorities and transformation plans within the EIJB Strategic Plan 2019-22, which is available online. The content in this report covers the financial year April 2021 to March 2022 unless otherwise stated.
