Purpose

Liverpool City Council, in partnership with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board and system partners, is required to develop and submit the Liverpool Better Care Fund (BCF) Plan for 2026/27 in line with national planning guidance.
The BCF is a pooled budget arrangement between the NHS and local authorities, governed through a Section 75 Partnership Agreement, and is a key mechanism for delivering integrated health and social care services that support prevention, independence and improved outcomes for residents.
