Health and social care - integration authority guidance: consultation analysis

2. Overview

The consultation was split into two parts. The first section focused on the draft Strategic plans: statutory guidance and the second section focused on the draft Annual performance reports: statutory guidance. Each section comprised six questions, which were identical for both draft guidance documents. There were two closed questions and four open-ended questions in each section.

There were 28 responses to the consultation. The below table details the proportion of the respondents, classified by ‘organisation’ or ‘individual’, as stated in their responses, with organisations also categorised by type.

Due to the number of responses and mix of organisations and individuals, care is required when interpreting the findings.

One facilitated session was organised at the request of a carer representative organisation. Six Integration Joint Board carer representatives attended the session. Output from this session is considered alongside the 28 written responses to the consultation.
