NHS Highland and Highland Council are engaging on a strategic plan for adult health and social care services.
This plan is for the delivery of integrated services in the region covered by the Highland Health and Social Care Partnership and will rund from 2024-27.

A survey to provide feedback on the plan can be completed here
The consultation is open until September 30. For a printed copy of the survey email nhsh.pmoadmin.nhs.scot.
Communities will also have the chance to give their views at regular meetings with community and locality groups and further engagement sessions will be arranged with any groups less well represented by the online survey.
Chief Officer for Community/Highland Health and Social Care, Pamela Cremin, said: “This Plan sets the strategic direction for community health and social care services for adults in the Highlands.
"It’s important that we hear the views of people who access these services, their carers and loved ones, as well as groups representing communities in the area. Your views will be used to refine and finalise the Plan.”
Councillor David Fraser, chairman of the council’s health, social care and wellbeing committee, said: “The Strategic Plan for Adult Services 2024-27 is now entering its engagement and consultation phase.
"This is an important element of the overall process and both NHS Highland and The Highland Council are inviting the views and opinions of people from across the region – feedback received will ultimately play a core role in fine-tuning and finalising the strategy for 2024-27.
"The consultation will remain open until September 30 and I would encourage participation and engagement from across the region.”
Once the plan is finalised and approved, NHS Highland and Highland Council will be working with communities on local delivery plans to find ways to deliver sustainable services as locally as possible.
