A partnership arrangement under section 75 (s75) of the NHS Act
2006 enables partners to commission integrated health and social
care services to better meet the needs of service users than if the
partners were operating independently. Section 75 agreements
provide a contractual framework for the use of pooled funds between
the council and CCG, to enable services to be delivered and
commissioned co-dependently.
The s75 agreement is a national requirement of the Better Care
Fund, set by NHS England under the NHS Act 2006.
