Social Care and Health services are already closely aligned in Halton with a high level of integration at strategic and operational levels. This has been strengthened this financial year by the introduction of the Public Health service into the council’s structure. Public Health has the overall purpose to protect and improve health and reduce health inequalities through tackling the wider determinants of health while also improving the quality of healthcare services as such it is closely linked strategically to the wider council, but it also links to social care services and the clinical commissioning group, both of which it shares premises with.
