Norfolk Older People's Strategic Partnership Board

The Norfolk Older People's Strategic Partnership (NOPSP) Board brings together older people's representatives and the agencies providing services for older people in the county.  The Board's task is to map out the shape of health, social care, housing and other services in line with local needs, Government policies and the aspirations of older people themselves.  The NOPSP Board recently reviewed and confirmed its Terms of Reference. 

Age UK Norfolk has undertaken to circulate minutes of NOPSP Board meetings to NCoA members and non-members.  The latest minutes available are of the NOPSP Board meeting held on 07 April 2010. 

A report on the Integrated Care Programme which is a joint intiative between NHS Norfolk, Norfolk County Council, 32 GP Practices and Norfolk Community Health and Care has been circulated to Board members and is being displayed here for information.
