Joint Teams
Local authorities and The Pension Service are well established as customer-orientated bodies, committed to supporting and developing networks of services for older people that deliver a wide variety of integrated services meeting the needs and expectations of our customer groups.
The Pension Service Local Service and local authorities are joining forces nationally to build on current shared successes. Working together to form ‘Joint Teams’, we are realising the central and local government commitment to provide integrated services focused on health, housing, benefits and social care for older people.
