The Transition Plan has been prepared in discussion with Registration and Inspection Units, the Local Government Association (LGA), the NHS Confederation and the Association of Directors of Social Services (ADSS). These organisations have agreed with the proposals set out in the Plan and will help the Department to review and update the Plan during the transition period.
