In order to ascertain the ideas and views of service users, the researchers made contact with an extensive list of organisations that represent the interests of service users. The researchers aimed to reflect the entire spectrum of potential users of adult social care services and included organisations representing disabled adults, older people, family carers, drug and alcohol users and other groups of service users. The paper is in three sections. Section 1 looks at the desired outcomes of a new approach from the perspective of users of services. Section 2 identifies the service principles that would underpin the accomplishment of the outcomes identified in Section 1. Section 3 identifies some implementation issues concerned with matters of structure and process.

Relationships between the NHS and social care services over the past 25 years have a poor history. This article examines the strategies that have been used by central government and by local NHS and social care organizations to overcome difficulties of service co-ordination in relation to services for older people and disabled adults. The article is written from the perspective of the NHS. The authors conclude that policies reflecting 'networked' modes of governance may stand the best chance of success, although evidence of improved impact and outcomes still remains scarce.
