a consider whether the current integrated care strategy should be revised, and
b if so, prepare a revised integrated care strategy under subsection (1).
7 An integrated care partnership must—
a publish each integrated care strategy, and

4 In preparing a strategy under this section, the responsible local authority and each of its partner integrated care boards must have regard to—

8 In this section and section 116B—
a “partner integrated care board”, in relation to a responsible local authority, has the same meaning as in section 116,
