AnnotationThis document follows on from the publication of "Building Capacity and Partnership in Care in October 2001, which launched a new agreement between the statutory and independent care sectors. The 2001 agreement related to health care provision to nursing and residential care homes, home care, ordinary and sheltered housing and other community based options. The agreement concentrated on five areas: focusing on people using services (including as patients) and their carers; information for good commissioning; strategic planning; building capacity, confidence and stability; and joint working. This publication under review tries to identify how the original agreement is being implemented locally and in so doing, encourage others to draw on the examples given and progress their partnerships.
