This document reports the discussions of the Group who endorse the validity of an inter-organisational approach to social need and social provision, and who consider practical ways of developing it. As a step towards wider social planning, the group suggested that opportunity be found in the proposed formation of joint consultative committees under the new NHS legislation to set up joint social information units. Their main function would be to provide a clearly understood base of information on which those who make policy decisions could act. They would provide an overview so that different services could be made aware if the impact of their operation on the total pattern of need and an effective balance of professional interests be achieved on the service of the whole community.
