The Better Care Fund is a £3.8 billion pool of NHS and local authority monies intended to support an increase in the scale and pace of integration and promote joint planning for the sustainability of local health and care economies. Access to the Better Care Fund in 2015/16 will be dependent on agreement of a local two-year plan for 2014/15 and 2015/16. The plans will need to be agreed by Health and Wellbeing Boards in March 2014.
A previous report on this matter was considered by the Health and Wellbeing Board on 5 November 2013.
