| Annotation | The last ten years in Wiltshire has witnessed a move from separate, independent health and social care services, to services which are recognised as interdependent, to integrated services with a single management of health and social care local teams. This article charts that progression, and highlights two important messages for other authorities at different stages of the process. The first is that while an early strategic vision can create the right conditions, there can be no short cuts to effective integration. The second is that independent evaluation is necessary to produce the evidence to sustain initiatives and promote organisational and professional learning - which are key ingredients of the change process.
