Support and care for adults
Have your say on the draft Adult Social Care strategy
Our Living Better Lives Vision and Strategy is our proposed approach for the next five years, prioritising People, Place and Partnerships and supporting much more of a joined up approach, that delivers better outcomes for those who need our support.
We want to hear your views on these and how we can turn them into more detailed plans, which are jointly developed with local people.
