Abstract
  • This paper provides a commentary on the progress being made by the NHS and local government as they work together to improve services for older people and people with long-term illness or disability. The views expressed are those of the King's Fund, drawing on discussions in an expert group convened by the King's Fund to review the implementation of partnership policies. The paper highlights encouraging progress in partnership working but also points to some areas of concern. This commentary focuses on formal partnerships ranging from strategic partnerships for planning services through to partnership working in teams to deliver services to individuals and families. A distinction is made between those partnerships that have some agreed rules of engagement, and mergers between organisations such as in care trusts. The partnerships being reviewed are those where people work together around a shared purpose, across services and systems. A final report with recommendations will follow. [Executive summary]
