Angus Health and Social Care Partnership (Angus HSCP), formed in 2016, delivers services for Angus Council and NHS Tayside. This means that we have a single system for planning and delivering local health and social care. The Angus HSCP Chief Officer is responsible for the management of planning and operational delivery on behalf of Angus IJB.
Angus Care Model
We continue to develop the Angus Care Model to shift the balance of care from the traditional setting of hospitals to supporting people to live in a homely setting for as long as possible. The Angus Care Model has people at its heart, ensuring that services are fit for the future. The following illustration demonstrates the range of services available within the home, locality, Angus-wide and across Tayside.
Our Plan
As required by the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 (referred to as The Act), Angus IJB assumed responsibility for the strategic direction of health and social care services delegated to it from Angus Council and NHS Tayside. Every IJB is required to produce a Plan that sets out how the nine National Health and Wellbeing Outcomes will be delivered locally. The nine outcomes are embedded in the Framework for Community Health and Social Care Integrated Services (Appendix 2). This Framework aims to improve the pace and scale of integration agreed by the Ministerial Strategic Group for Health and Community Care and supports the ambition for the redesign and improvement of services with a strong focus on prevention, quality and sustainability.
Our Vision, Mission and Values
Through engagement with the public and staff we revised our vision and clarified our values. Collectively these redefine our purpose (mission) as we continue to focus on making difference to health and wellbeing outcomes across Angus.
What services and functions are delegated?
Examples of the services and functions delegated from Angus Council and NHS Tayside to Angus IJB, along with their budget, are detailed in Table 1. below. These services are planned and delivered by Angus HSCP and a range of partners and providers. A full list of the functions delegated to the IJB can be found within the Angus Integration Scheme.

Angus HSCP is one of three HSCPs in the Tayside area (others being Dundee HSCP and Perth & Kinross HSCP). To ensure consistency and for economy of scale, some health services are organised Tayside-wide, with a nominated HSCP Partner leading the service on behalf of its own and the other two HSCPs.
Delivering transformation and improvement in Lead Partner service areas means that Angus HSCP works closely with Dundee and Perth & Kinross Partnerships as well as NHS Tayside.

Working with people in Angus
Angus HSCP is committed to hearing people’s experiences and using that information to improve service provision. We want to build on the relationships with the people of Angus who use our services now or may do so in the future and will further develop our Service User Voice Network. It is only by working together that we can make a difference to outcomes for all our residents. With the support from people who live in Angus we have developed a series of joint commitments which reflect the notion of two parties (public and the community) contributing to a common goal to make a difference.
