(7) The responsible local authority and each of its partner clinical commissioning groups may include in the strategy a statement of their views on how arrangements for the provision of health-related services in the area of the local authority could be more closely integrated with arrangements for the provision of health services and social care services in that area.

(8) In this section and section 116B—

(a) “partner clinical commissioning group”, in relation to a responsible local authority, has the same meaning as in section 116, and
