HA Info: Harrow Informed the journey continues Where do we wish to be…….. “The Council will adopt a new approach to commissioning services so that the organisations that are best placed to deliver the services that you need are asked to do so. To get this right, we need to identify what services are most important and how people need them. We must understand when and where those services are needed to be able to commission exactly what is needed.” ………………..HA Info will help on this journey
