From the Back Cover
Closer integration of health and social care services, with the aim of ending the historic divide between NHS and social services, has been the goal of successive governments for decades. The rationale has been widely accepted - service improvement, a holistic approach, better use of resources and meeting the needs arising from future demographic change - and various methods of integration have been tried and tested, ranging from joint working to full structural overhaul.

This timely and important new text provides a systematic assessment of recent policy developments across the UK relating to health and social care services, and introduces the different models of integration currently in operation: from partnership and funding initiatives in England and Wales, structural integration in Northern Ireland to health, and care partnerships in Scotland. It examines the achievements of integrated working, demonstrating ways in which it can lead to significant improvements in the quality of care and access to services; it also considers barriers to integration, and draws some comparisons with experiences from other parts of the world - such as the US, Canada, Australia and Europe - to identify lessons for practice in the UK.
