Learning disability services have been at the forefront of attempts to develop effective joint working between health and local authority agencies. There is now an emergent framework for commissioners to work together and some, albeit patchy, experience of doing so. Joint commissioning has demonstrated potential benefits for service users, though there is still considerable scope for widening the range of stakeholders and more firmly establishing it in the host organisations. This article aims to clarify the nature of joint commissioning, making observations on experiences around the UK and suggesting issues and obstacles that require future consideration.

Joint working between health and social services has a long record of fragmentation and under-performance in community services for people with learning disabilities. This article examines the renewed potential for joint commissioning in the context of the Government's emerging social care policy agenda, including its commitment to partnership and performance management. Drawing on case evidence from learning disability and the wider academic literature, it identifies pointers for the development of joint commissioning in learning disability and argues for the monitoring and evaluation of emerging models.
