In support of the strategic and operational changes required by all partners to support the Integration agenda, the 2014 Protocol’s guiding principle is defined as follows: “The aim of the Protocol is to ensure delivery of services which are responsive to need and which make the best use of limited resources. Services will be: — effective — delivered at the correct level of intervention and in the right environment, — appropriate — able to meet people’s health needs to ensure recovery and maintenance of good health and wellbeing, — timely — available when people need them to promote independence, choice and control, — safe — provided with regard to clinical responsibilities and professional competence”. The overall principal is clearly stated as: “If you are there and you are competent to do it, you do it”.
