Strategic and Locality Plans

Strategic Plan 2023 to 2026

The Strategic Plan must be reviewed every three years, and a decision is taken whether to replace the existing one or extend it. Our current Strategic Plan was initially agreed to cover the period 2023 to 2026. However, Glasgow City Integration Joint Board decided, at its May 2025 meeting, to extend it for a further two years, making the current plan a 5-year plan from 2023 to 2028.

Background to Health and Social Care in Glasgow and the Strategic Plan

The way that health and social care services are locally planned and delivered across Scotland legally changed in February 2016 as part of Health and Social Care Integration. Local Authorities (Councils) and Health Boards are required to work closely together to plan and deliver integrated health and social care services for adults (including older people), and Glasgow City Council and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have also integrated other services such as children’s, homelessness and community justice.

The Council and Health Board are planning and delivering services in Glasgow as the ‘Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’ (HSCP) with partners in the third and independent sectors. The work of our HSCP and its services are directed by our Integration Joint Board (IJB), which is separate from the Council and Health Board.

One of the things that our IJB is required to do is to produce a Strategic Plan for the health and social care services that it has responsibility for. The Strategic Plan includes the vision and priorities for health and social care in Glasgow, and it describes how they will be delivered by our HSCP with partners. The Strategic Plan must be reviewed every three years, and a decision is taken whether to replace the existing one or extend it.

Our Strategic Plan 2023 to 2026, outlines how integrated health and social care services are planned and delivered within the city, this was developed by the HSCP and a range of people, groups and organisations from across the city though an extensive programme of engagement. The IJB and HSCP are committed to engaging with, listening to and taking account of the views of people, communities, groups/networks and organisations on how health and social care services are planned and delivered in Glasgow.

The feedback received throughout the review process has been used to develop the new Plan, which was approved by the IJB at it’s meeting in June 2023. You can read more about how we engaged and consulted to develop the Plan.

Housing Contribution Statement

As part of the development of the IJB Strategic Plan, Glasgow City Council’s Neighbourhoods, Regeneration and Sustainability (NRS) prepared the Housing Contribution Statement. The city is required to prepare a Housing Contribution Statement under the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014.

Locality Plan

The Locality Plan for 2026 to 2028 is now available. It sets out the key priorities, actions, and commitments for each of the city’s three localities and explains how the Integration Joint Board’s Strategic Plan will be delivered locally.

The plan is designed to support collaborative working and ensure that local voices, experiences, and needs shape service planning and delivery. We invite feedback to help ensure the plans are clear, accessible, and meaningful for all stakeholders.
