The Department of Health and Social Care has published the National health framework, which sets out the next steps for the NHS and local government, working alongside civil society, to deliver a neighbourhood health service in England.

As featured in the NHS 10-year Plan, it outlines how Integrated Care Boards, local authorities, health and wellbeing boards and other partners should create and deliver neighbourhood health services.

Housing LIN members will be interested to know that there are a couple of references to housing, in particular in relation to homelessness and decent homes, and several references to how a digital approach can support the delivery of person-centred care at home.
