Consultation: Joint Commissioning Strategy for Older People living in North Somerset

The key aim of this strategy is to achieve the transformation of services which offer real choices and better outcomes for older people. In particular, NHS North Somerset and North Somerset Council are keen to develop a range of joint services which actively work to promote independence and reduce our use of institutional care options, be they hospital-based or in care home settings.
