About the CHCP
The ambition of all partners is that Inverclyde CHCP will bring together NHS and local authority responsibilities to form an integrated partnership but retaining clear individual agency accountability for statutory functions, resources and employment issues. The CHCP will be a partnership organisation not a separate new entity.
Inverclyde CHCP will operate within the wider context of Community Planning and the existing Council and NHS strategic frameworks, including joint arrangements such as the Community Plan and the Single Outcome Agreement (SOA), NHS Corporate Planning and Policy Frameworks, Joint Community Care Plan, Childrens Services Plan and Criminal Justice Plan.
