AnnotationEvidence is presented from interim results of a large scale longitudinal project designed to track the development of partnership working between the new primary care organisations (Primary Care Groups and Primary Care Trusts - PCGs and PCTs) and local authority social services departments (SSDs), regarding health and social care services for older people in the UK. Drawing on theoretical work on the role of partnership working in the governance of welfare, the author uses a framework originally designed by the Nuffield Centre for Health, University of Leeds, to analyse the interim data conclusions about the feasibility of current policy pushes towards partnership working and service integration around health and social care for older people.
