EIJB Strategic Plan

Last month, after numerous consultations, the EIJB finally approved its Strategic Plan – it is a fairly hefty tome, but it has set the strategic aims and objectives for the EIJB to meet. 

The EIJB is responsibly for health and social care across Edinburgh, so this is important! Prevention and Early intervention is the first priority, and there are objectives around this. 

Local Lib Dem Councillor Alan Beal said: “This all matters, because Scottish Government funding is not meeting demand - £31m has to be found in this financial year alone, which is a very big ask and will involve some difficult decisions; at full Council we have challenged the SNP in particularly about this, especially given increased income from the UK Government.”
