The implementation of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 required the largest ever transition programme in the history of the NHS. As clinical commissioning groups, health and wellbeing boards and Healthwatch take centre stage at a local level, the voluntary and community sector faces a range of issues and challenges.
The key considerations for the VCS – covering all relevant new structures from the local to the national – are highlighted in a new briefing from Regional Voices (of which Voluntary Sector North West is a member). The briefing also provides an overview of the main changes that impact on the sector.
