Abstract: |
This article examines UK policy and practice developments in respect of integrated health and social care over the last two decades. It explores the extent to which these accord with the available evidence on effective strategies. The article suggests that the focus in delivering integrated care should be on the local systems and cultures that can deliver positive outcomes for individuals. However, structural change will not guarantee integrated care and diverts from the detail of local implementation that needs to be achieved. Current developments in both Scotland and England have some promise of delivering enduring progress. The article intends to allow comparisons between different areas within the UK. |
