Briefing / Pooled budgets: pooled budgets and the integration agenda in Wales

This briefing looks at pooled budgets operated between health and local government in Wales. It summarises the legislative background, the approach to accounting for pooled budgets and draws on members’ experiences to provide insight and advice on the approach to the year end.
