NICE support for local government

The Health and Social Care Act transfers public health responsibilities to local government, and gives NICE new responsibilities to produce guidance for social care.

As a result of these changes NICE is now increasingly relevant to those working in local government, whether as an officer, an elected member or councillor, or a member of a Health and Wellbeing Board.

We are looking closely at how we can understand and work more closely with local government, and have created a reference group to help us improve our relationship and guide us in developing products that are useful and relevant.

We have created this new section of our website for those working in local government to keep up to date with NICE,  and to provide a single point to access information, NICE guidance and other tailored resources for this audience.
