1 An Integration Authority can be a local authority, a health board or an integration joint board, according to the model of integration adopted. It covers both models of integration whether body corporate ( IJB) or lead agency. An Integration Joint Board is the decision making and governance body for all delegated functions, services and budgets, identified in individual integration schemes. It is a statutory body, constituting a separate legal entity to local authorities and health boards. A Health and Social Care Partnership is led by a Chief Officer and is the operational and delivery aspect of integration, bringing together staff from the relevant health board and local authority.
