The East Dunbartonshire Integration Joint Board (IJB) at its meeting on 27 June, 2024 approved the Communication and Engagement Strategy (2024-29) and plan for the HSCP.

The strategy provides clear and consistent approaches to communication and engagement, with our patients, service users, carers and stakeholders across East Dunbartonshire.
