Care Providers Area

The overall aim of the Regulated Care Sector ICS workstream in Lancashire and South Cumbria is to work with providers, local authorities and clinical commissioning groups as equal partners in providing care across the health and social care sector. We want to look at things differently and recognise that there may need to be a change in the model of care, exploring non-traditional ways of delivering care to older people.
