Establishing formal integrated commissioning arrangements will provide a consistent approach to learning disability commissioning across Kent and secure integrated and good quality care for Adults with a Learning Disability in Kent.
The integrated commissioning arrangement is consistent with KCC Strategic statement, "Increasing Opportunities, Improving Outcomes" and will ensure a joined up approach to reducing the inequalities and disadvantage faced by people with a learning disability and help the health and social care system to work together to deliver high quality community services.
