This paper examines partnership working between health and social care by exploring the specific issues which this case study of hospital discharge provides. The analysis highlights the importance of understanding the dynamics of partnership working on the ground. It also underlines the need for a new relationship between central government and local agencies when old-style models of command and control are no longer fit for purpose. A new approach is required that addresses the complex and multiple relationships which characterise the new partnership agenda.
