Reports on the findings of a two year evaluation of three service pilots which aimed to improve the coordination of local support to individuals suffering from multiple needs such as, homelessness, substance misuse, mental health problems and offending. The three pilots were in Cambridgeshire, Derby and Somerset. The findings are discussed in relation to client wellbeing and service use costs. The study also discusses the concept of survirorship bias and how this can result in programmes appearing more or less successful than they actually are. The evaluation highlights the considerable wellbeing improvements and financial savings that a more coordinated approach can deliver, including one pilot which reduced service use costs by 26.4% over the study period. Appendices include details of service use and unit costs. (Edited publisher abstract)
